DORA CURTIS: Illustrations to STORIES OF KING ARTHUR AND THE ROUND TABLE

Dora Curtis (1873-1920).
Wikipedia mentions only her participation in an anthropological/naturalist expedition, with no mention of her art at all, or even her dates of birth or death.
She illustrated several books: The Lances of Lynwood, The Story of the Merchant of Venice (1904), Fairy Tales From The Arabian Nights (1907), and Grany's Wonderful Chair.
