Katherine Cameron (1874-1965) was one of the group of female artists to emerge from the Glasgow School at the end of the nineteenth century known collectively as the 'Glasgow Girls'. Her style, with its "bold outlines and vivid colours" (Rosemary Addison) and characteristic combination of Art Nouveau and Celtic Revival lent itself perfectly to the more fantastic elements of book illustration. She illustrated a series of books of fairy tales, most notably The Enchanted Land and In Fairyland for the publishers T.C. & E.C. Jack. The work predates either of those commissions but captures the same element of otherworldly wonder.
