Florence Anderson Collection

Florence Anderson was an English artist active as a book illustrator throughout the first three decades of the 20th Century.

Her art was influenced by the British Fairy School.

The Florence Anderson Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes images from some of Anderson's seminal work.

Her first major commission appears to have been an extensive suite of colour and monotone illustrations prepared for

The Dream-Pedlar published in 1914. Anderson received further substantial commissions throughout the decade that

followed, including major suites of colour and monotone illustrations prepared for: The Travelling Companions (1915);

Little Dwarf Nose & The Magic Whistle (1916); The Black Princess and other Fairy Tales from Brazil (1916); The Cradle
Ship (1916); The Magic Kiss (1916); My Fairyland (1916); Nutcracker and Mouse King (1916); Adventures in Magic Land and

Other Tales (1917); The Rainbow Twins (1919); Valentine and Orson: The Twin Knights of France (1919); Secrets of the
