Florence Kingsford Cockerell information


Ashendene Song of Songs, illuminated by Florence Kingsford, 1902

Florence Kate Kingsford, Lady Cockerell (25 May 1871 – 18 September 1949), known variously as Florence Kingsford and Kate Cockerell, was a British illustrator and calligrapher who specialized in creating illuminated manuscripts. She worked with the Ashendene Press, the writer Olive Schreiner, and the archaeologist Flinders Petrie, among others. She is considered a leading illuminator of the British Arts and Crafts movement,[1] with one authority holding that her originality as an illuminator was greater even than that of William Morris.[2] She also designed some sets and costumes for opera and ballet.
