Virginia Frances Sterrett

Virginia Frances Sterrett (1900–1931) was an American illustrator celebrated for her enchanting interpretations of fairy tales and mythological narratives. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Sterrett demonstrated artistic talent from a young age. Her talent was first recognized when her family relocated to Missouri following her father's death. At the Kansas State Fair around 1913, she won several awards, a significant achievement that boosted her confidence and earned her early recognition in the art world. 1915, the family returned to Chicago, and Sterrett secured a full scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago. However, she left the institute after a year to support her family due to her mother's illness, taking up work in advertising agencies while continuing to hone her artistic skills. 

At the tender age of 19, Sterrett was diagnosed with tuberculosis, a condition that would cast a shadow over her life. Yet, undeterred by her health challenges, she received her first major commission from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales by Comtesse de Ségur, published in 1920. Her illustrations, characterized by delicate lines and dreamlike quality, quickly gained acclaim. This success led to another commission for Nathaniel Hawthorne's Tanglewood Tales in 1921. In 1923, seeking a more favorable climate for her health, Sterrett moved with her family to Altadena, California. There, she embarked on her most ambitious project: illustrating Arabian Nights, which took three years due to her declining health. Published in 1928, this work is often regarded as her masterpiece. 

Sterrett's illustrations, noted for their Art Nouveau influences, feature graceful figures and intricate designs that evoke a sense of otherworldly beauty. Her work stands alongside contemporaries like Kay Nielsen and Edmund Dulac, contributing significantly to the Golden Age of Illustration. In 1930, she began work on a new project, Myths and Legends, but could not complete it due to her deteriorating health. Virginia Frances Sterrett passed away from tuberculosis on June 8, 1931, at the age of 30. Despite her brief career, her illustrations continue to captivate audiences, preserving her legacy as a remarkable talent in the realm of fairy tale art, a testament to the enduring appeal of her work.
