Amy Millicent Sowerby(1878 Northumberland, England - 1967 England) The daughter of artist John G. Sowerby,
Amy Sowerby's
illustrations graced many
popular children's books, including Lew Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (1907), and Robert Lewis
Stevenson's A Child's
Garden of Verse (1909).
Her skill was mostly self-taught, studying the work of other
illustrators. She collaborated with her sister, Githa, on
many
books over a twenty year period.
Her postcard illustrations often depict children, fairies, fairy tales
and nursery rhymes. For a more complete biography, visit Women Children's Book Illustrators by Denise Ortakales.   Return from Amy Sowerby to the Artists page
