Notes:
The creator of the manuscript is probably May Chatteris Fisher (1874-1910). Fisher would later study at the Manchester School of Art (where Walter Crane was Director of Design from 1893 to 1898). Subsequently, Fisher became a designer of bookplates and a book illustrator for children's stories published by Sherratt & Hughes. In 1904 Fisher married the landscape painter, William Smallwood Winder. The two were among the founding members of the Lake Artists' Society (1904).
