Catalogue Note
Both illustrations are from In The Fairy Ring, a volume published by Blackie in 1908 and are from the publisher's archive (sold December 2004). Both illustrations accompany the poem 'Pixy Work'. Two other illustrations from the same work were sold in these rooms, July 2006. The work of the figure painter and illustrator Emma Florence Harrison was influenced by William Morris and the Pre-Raphaelites.
