Florence Susan Harrison (1877-1955), the British artist, attended the Glasgow School of Art where she developed her distinctive style and gained notoriety as one of the Glasgow Girls. She illustrated the works of Tennyson, Christina Rosetti and William Morris, and lived in London where her work was exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1887-1891. Recent research shows that work previously attributed to Emma Florence Harrison is in fact by Florence Susan Harrison and that the earlier attribution was spurious. £350.00
