Frances Brundage
Frances Isabelle Brundage b. Lockwood (born June 28, 1854 in Newark (New Jersey) , † March 28, 1937 ) was an American painter and children's book author.
Frances Isabelle Lockwood was a daughter of the painter Rembrandt Lockwood and his wife Sarah Ursula, nee. Despeaux. She initially received her education from her father, whom she lost at an early age: he left the family when Frances was 17 years old. She mainly worked as an illustrator; her first work that made her money was probably an illustration of a poem by Louisa May Alcott . However, she preferred to illustrate children's books, some of which she wrote herself. Adventures of Jack , for example, was a children's book that she wrote and illustrated herself.
In 1886, Frances Lockwood married the artist William Tyson Brundage (1849–1923). After her only daughter died as a toddler in 1891, depictions of children were one of the main motifs of her paintings, which were often published on greeting cards and calendar pictures. Frances Isabelle Brundage has worked for renowned publishers, including Stecher Lithographic, De Wolfe, Fiske & Company, Fred A Stokes, Charles E. Graham & Company, EP Dutton, Hayes Samuel Gabriel, Saalfied and Raphael Tuck & Sons .
