"The Travelling Companions" (1915), illustrated by Florence Anderson (Spirit of the Ages)

The Travelling Companions (1915)

Illustrated by Florence Anderson

Published in 1915 by Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co., Ltd. (London), The Travelling Companions (the work of Lady Margaret Sackville) appears to have been the second major commission for Florence Anderson following The Dream-Pedlar (1914).

Sackville's work was published without illustrations in 1906 and the 1915 reprint with

Anderson's images was the 1st Edition to carry illustrations.

Examples of the illustrated 1st Edition of The Travelling Companions - with the suite of images contributed by Anderson - are rare and highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
