 Lucy Fitch Perkins (1865-1937), was a writer of children's books. Born on July 12, 1865, in Maples, Indiana, Lucy Fitch attended the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston (1883-86). She worked
as an illustrator for the Prang Educational Company in Boston for a year and then taught for four years in the School of Fine Arts of the newly opened Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. In 1891 she married Dwight H. Perkins, with whom she settled in Chicago. She worked as an illustrator for the Chicago office of the Prang firm, painted murals in schoolrooms, taught art, and lectured. In 1906 she published her first book, The Goose Girl, a collection of rhymes for children. These prints probably came from that collection of rhymes.

Print size - 9 " wide x 7 " high. Frame size - 11 3/4" wide x 9 1/2" high.

Due to the age, quality, and condition of the print, we estimate that this set would bring at auction $100.00  to $200.00.
