'Seeing a beautiful white rose, she stopped to pluck it' is a wonderful illustration by Florence Anderson (an artist associated with the Golden Age of Illustration). It was first published in "The Black Princess and Other Fairy Tales from Brazil" (1916) and is associated with 'A Princesa Negrina (The Black Princess)'. "The Black Princess and Other Fairy Tales from Brazil" (or, "Contas para Crianças") is a translation - from the Portuguese of 'Chysanthème' - undertaken by Christie T Young. As published by Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Ltd. (London) in 1916, the 1st Edition contains a wonderful suite of images by Florence Anderson. 'Chysanthème' was the pseudonym of Cecilia Rebelo Bandeira de Melo de Vasconcelos (1870-1948) - a Brazilian author and journalist. In all likelihood, the translation prepared by Young arose from "Contas para Crianças" ("Stories for Children") published under the pseudonym 'Chysanthème' in 1906. Anderson's suite of illustrations for The Black Princess and Other Fairy Tales from Brazil included both color and marginal monotone images. Stylistically, it is a positive tour de force with influences extending from Albrecht Dürer to Maxfield Parrish. Florence Anderson was an English artist active as a book illustrator throughout the first three decades of the 20th Century. Her art was influenced by the British Fairy School. Anderson's first major commission appears to have been an extensive suite of color and monotone illustrations prepared for "The Dream-Pedlar" published in 1914. Thereafter, she received further substantial commissions throughout the decade that followed, including major suites of color and monotone illustrations prepared for: "The Travelling Companions" (1915); "Little Dwarf Nose & The Magic Whistle" (1916); "The Black Princess and Other Fairy Tales from Brazil" (1916); "The Cradle Ship" (1916); "The Magic Kiss" (1916); "My Fairyland" (1916); "Nutcracker and Mouse King" (1916); "Adventures in Magic Land and Other Tales" (1917); "The Rainbow Twins" (1919); "Valentine and Orson: The Twin Knights of France" (1919); "Secrets of the Flowers" (1919); "The Password to Fairyland" (1920); and "The Singing Fish" (1922).
