Anne Anderson (1874—26 May 1952) was a prolific Scottish illustrator, primarily known for her art nouveau children’s book illustrations, 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 (1864-1959).
Her book illustrations began appearing at the end of the Edwardian era. Her illustrations may be found in children’s books and annuals such as Blackie’s and Cassell’s, on Royal Doulton China, and were frequently used on postcards.
Anne Anderson spent her childhood days in Argentina. In addition to her illustrations, she was also an etcher, watercolor painter and designer of greeting cards. She was a prolific illustrator of many children’s and fairy tales books.
