E. Gertrude Thomson

Emily Gertrude Thomson (1850-1929) was a British artist and illustrator.

She was the daughter of Alexander Thomson (1815-1895), a professor of Greek and Hebrew. She studied at Manchester College of Art and became a member of the Royal Miniature Society. In 1878 she was approached by Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carrol) to illustrate some of his books, including "Three Sunsets and Other Poems": she also designed the cover of "The Nursery "Alice"". She became a friend of Dodgson and wrote a short biographical memoir of him.
