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.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-in plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is

hand-finished and and the images are presented on Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each

card carries information about Florence Anderson, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the

interior of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.

 

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below.

Each of these large format prints is also accompanied by information about Florence Anderson, this suite and the profiled

illustration.
