Florence Harrison (1877-1955) was an English Art Nouveau and Pre-Raphaelite illustrator of poetry and children's books. Many of her books were published by Blackie and Sons in Scotland.
In 1905, Harrison began to work as an illustrator of her own poetry for children. The books were issued by Blackie, her chief publisher throughout her career. At this stage her illustrations combined Pre-Raphaelite influences with the practices of fin-de-Siecle poster artists, and may be compared to those of such contemporary women illustrators as Jessie M King and Anne Anderson. At best, the color plates have the luminosity and strong outlines of stained glass, while the line drawings have a decorative efflorescence.
In 1910, Harrison began to publish her illustrations to Romantic literary texts, including poetry by Christina Rossetti, Lord Tennyson and William Morris. Yet, at the same time, she contributed to popular annuals, appearing alongside Anne Anderson, Honor Appleton, Agnes Richardson, among many others. A turn to more overtly fantastic imagery was signaled by the appearance of her Elfin Song in 1912.
