Jesse Wilcox Smith

Smith (1863-1935) was the artist who illustrated the somewhat well-known book by Rev. Charles Kingsley, 'The Water Babies: A fairy Tale For A Land Baby', which is about a boy named Tom who falls in a river and dies, and then goes on to learn moral truths. That is not her only work, but it is what I know her from.
