Talk:Margaret Neilson Armstrong

Margaret Armstrong update needed
Some of the information in the current entry for "Margaret Neilson Armstrong" is inaccurate - based on my perhaps more recent research done while writing and publishing Cover Treasure - The Life and Art of Margaret Armstrong (Black Dome Press, 1922). I propose to edit the current entry and would love to hear from the originators and other editors (whom I would also like to thank for their initiative and for getting almost everything right). Some changes I want to make include the year and publisher of the earliest cover designs (1887 rather than 1900 and Scribner rather than McClurg) and the span of years during which Armstrong was travelling out West and drawing wild flowers (1909-1914 rather than 1911-1914). These more accurate dates were unknown to Gullans and Espey at the time of their paper which is otherwise a valuable source. I also would add my own book as a reference and make some other small improvements (for example, it's important to note that it was not just the dust jacket that came into fashion but the color-illustrated dust jacket). With everyone's approval (which I hope to hear soon), I will make these changes. Thanks again! Lowellthing (talk) 21:12, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
