"Designed at the studios in England and printed in the fine art works in Bavaria." Her musical aspirations having been dashed in childhood following a bout of scarlet fever that left her deaf, Helen Marion Burnside (1841-1923) turned to verse writing, becoming a popular children's poet and a prolific author of rhymes for greetings cards. She also worked as a needlework designer and editor for Raphael Turk & Sons. For quarter of a century Burnside lived with novelist Rosa Nouchette Carey. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1895
