Murray, Hannah Lindley, 1777-1836
Biographical notes:
According to the 1867 edition of this work, sisters Hannah and Mary Murray of New York designed "The Toilet" by cutting out pictures from papers and pasting them into blank books, writing the inscriptions themselves. They sold these booklets to raise money for charities. Eventually, the idea was adapted to a printed version, copies of which are in the Rare Books area of the Winterthur Library.
