E. Gertrude Thomson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emily Gertrude Thomson (1850-1929) was a British artist and illustrator.
She was the daughter of Alexander Thomson (1815-1895), a professor of Greek and Hebrew. She studied at Manchester College of Art and became a member of the Royal Miniature Society. In 1878 she was approached by Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carrol) to illustrate some of his books, including Three Sunsets and Other Poems: she also designed the cover of The Nursery "Alice". She became a friend of Dodgson and wrote a short biographical memoir of him.
