Florence Susan Harrison (1877-1955) was an Australian illustrator of poetry and children's books in Art Nouveau and Pre-Raphaelite styles. Many of her books were published by Blackie and Son. She illustrated books by Pre-Raphaelite circle poets Christina Rossetti, William Morris (1913) and Sir Alfred Tennyson, as well as 'The Pixy Book' (1900), 'Rhymes and Reasons' (1905), In the Fairy Ring' (1908), 'Elfin Song' (1912), 'The Rhyme of a Run' (1912), 'Tales in Rhyme and Colour' (1917) and 'The Man in the Moon and other Verses' (1918).
Florence Harrison was born in Brisbane, Australia, in 1877 to Lucy and Norwood Harrison. From 1922, she lived in the London area. Around 1940 she moved to Brighton, England, to live with her cousin Isobel. She remained there until her death in 1955.
Harrison has often been confused with Emma Florence Harrison, an English artist who exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1887.

William Orpen's 'To the Unknown British Soldier in France'
There is a fascinating story about this picture that not only highlights the pomposity and arrogance of the politicians of the time of World War I but has also introduced me to the word 'vainglory', which I hadn't heard before but which is no doubt appropriate for some of today's leaders.
