Description: This Gorgeous 1900 Frances Brundage Advertising Calendar with Darling Little Girls is lovely. Brundage was born Frances Isabelle Lockwood on June 28, 1854 in Newark, New Jersey, to Rembrandt Lockwood and Sarah Ursula Despeaux. Her father was an architect, a wood engraver, and an artist who painted church murals, portraits, and miniatures. Brundage received her art education from her father, and, at the age of seventeen, was forced to earn a living from her art after Lockwood abandoned his family. She sold her first professional work – a sketch illustrating a poem by Louisa May Alcott – to the author.
