Anne Anderson (1874—1940s?) A prolific illustrator, Anne Anderson’s delicate work exhibits a fluidity typical of the Art Nouveau movement. Over One hundred books to her credit has insured that most children in that era have enjoyed her work.Childhood & Professional Career Anderson was a Scottish artist born in 1874, then spent her childhood days in Argentina. In 1912, she married a painter, Alan Wright and they settled in Berkshire. Wright had a successful career in illustration prior to 1898 when he illustrated a story for Baron Corvo. The story and Corvo were highly criticized in the press, and because of his association with the story, Wright’s commissions dried up until he married Anderson. They collaborated on many books together—he would draw the animals and birds and she would draw everything else. It has been said that it is difficult to distinguish his work from hers. But mostly, he dedicated himself to providing her with an environment conducive to her work. In addition to her illustration, she was also an etcher, watercolor painter and designer of greeting cards. Influences & Style Her work has been compared to her contemporaries, Charles Robinson, Jessie M. King and Mabel Lucie Attwell. Her illustrations, both in black and white and in color, are decorative and lightly drawn or painted and show neatly dressed children with pear-shaped faces. Raison d’Être Although her illustrations were popular, her success can be attributed to her need to work hard and earn a decent income. With over 100 books to her credit, she was the financial supporter of the family, her husband only contributing occasionally. Anne Anderson (1874—26 May 1952) was a prolific Scottish illustrator, primarily known for her art nouveau children'sBOOKillustrations, although she also painted, etched and designed greeting cards. Her style of painting was influenced by her contemporaries, Charles Robinson, and Jessie Marion King, and was similar to that of her husband, Alan Wright (1864-1859). Born in Scotland in 1874 to James and Grace Anderson, Annie "Anne" Anderson and her siblings—four brothers and one sister, Grace—spent their childhood in Argentina.[2] On reaching adulthood, Annie and Grace returned to England to find work. By 1910, Annie could afford to buy a cottage in Berkshire. She married the artist Alan Wright in June 1912[3] at Burghfield Common Parish Church in Berkshire, and they lived in the cottage she had purchased two years earlier. Though they collaborated on many projects, Anne was considered the driving force. Her husband had had a successful career as an illustrator until working on a book for the vilified homosexual Baron Corvo in 1898. While some sources list Annie's death in 1930,[6] other sources say she died in 1936,[7] and still others indicate she was still alive after World War II.[2] There is, however, an entry on 29 May 1952 in the Berkshire Burial Index for a married artist named Annie Wright, aged 76, who had resided in Burghfield Common.[8] Given that there is an entry in the same Burial Index on 17 July 1959 for a widower named Alan Wright, aged 94, who also had resided in Burghfield Common,[1] it lends more credence to her death taking place on 26 May 1952 The Rosie-Posie Book 1911 The Golden Wonder Book

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Gertrude MCKRAY and Verda SCOTT of Bucoda (Washington I believe) who were "Best of Friends". In addition it is noted that Gertrude's brother (believed to be Milton) married Verda's sister (believed to be Hattie). The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the two young women likely in their teens at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following details regarding this family: Gertrude May MCKRAY was b. 19 Nov 1889 in Yale, KS to parents Almon Richard MCKRAY (1842-1915) and Ellen Nancy ADAMSON (1847-1928). Gertrude was one of 6 children born to this couple including, Charles J.; Clara Louretta; Milton Elmer; Estella Belle; Nellie Emma; and Gertrude May MCKRAY. Gertrude married John Lewis YANTIS Jr. (1890-1983) and together they had 7 children including, Bernice Ellen Helen; John Lewis; and Richard Almon or Milton or Tower YANTIS. Gertrude died on 8 Dec 1981 and is buried in the Milton-Freewater IOOF Cemetery in Milton-Freewater, OR. The MCKRAY surname was sometimes changed to MCREA or MCCRAY by some family members through time. Verda Viola SCOTT was b. 1890 and married Conrad O. MANNES (1885-1953) on 18 Jun 1911 with Verda’s hometown noted as Elma, WA and Conrad’s as Minneapolis, MN. They had a son, Conrad Peter MANNES. Verda was married a second time to Mr. NIELSEN and she died in 1978 and is buried in the Acacia Memorial Park and Funeral Home Cemetery in Lake Forest Park, WA. Verda’s sister was Hattie SCOTT (b. abt 1875 in Illinois) and she married Milton MCKRAY (b. 22 Dec 1872 in Girard, KS – d. 3 Jun 1949 in Hoquiam, WA) and together they had a son, Elmer M. MCKRAY b. 1896. Census records provide the following details: 1900 census of Welch, Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory: Jerome SCOTT, age 55 Sarah A. SCOTT, age 51 Charles W. SCOTT, age 21 Walter W.

If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley People in photo include: Gertrude McKray and Verda Scott
There are stories from history that everyone thinks they know inside and out, but as these photos show there’s always more than one way to look at something or someone. Just because the Queen of England looks stodgy right now doesn’t mean that she wasn’t playful in the 1950s, and even though we think of the Great Depression as being a real drag, there were people who knew how to pass the time in interesting ways.
From the strange, to the surreal, to the downright bizarre, here's a collection of rather unusual vintage animal photographs over the past several decades.

Not long after the increasing interest in pet ownership began in the 19th century, the first cat ladies became known. Appearing in children’s literature in such stories as, Dame Wiggins of Lee and Dame Trot and her Comical Cat, cat ladies seemed acceptable and taught children moral and ethical lessons. However, in reality cat ladies were punished for their excesses. In 1887, one of the first cat ladies, the Countess de la Torre, was charged with having too many cats in her rooms in Lille-road, Fulham. A well known cat lover, she had acquired too many cats to

It is not so long ago that children were allowed, and often encouraged, to make mistakes - with teachers and parents believing it was the best way to learn.
A photo of Gladys (Simmons) Van Kleeck and her cat Patsy. I'm amazed that the cat is calmly sitting for the portrait. All the cats I've known would have panicked at the strange setting and found some large piece of furniture to hide under.
