      • found: Wikipedia, 7 January 2021(Florence Mary MacArthur (27 October 1893 - 12 January 1972), was an English artist and stage designer who also illustrated a number of books. Her work for the stage (always as Molly MacArthur) was first seen in 1923, after which she worked in the theatre continuously until 1958. Her married name has led to some confusion with the children's illustrator, Florence Mary Anderson (1889-1945), but MacArthur always used her maiden name for her professional work)
