Artwork of Blanche McManus

Little is known regarding this artist, except that she was born in East Feliciania Parish, Louisiana, in 1870, studied in London and Paris, and travelled with writer/husband, Francis Miltoun (Mansfield), throughout Europe and North Africa around the turn of the century.  Their collaboration led to a series of travel books, fully illustrated by McManus.  On these next few web pages are part of the many illustrations she executed for these books, many as watercolors, while the majority were pen-and-ink and charcoal sketches.  Her work is little known, but it exemplifies the best tradition of Arts and Crafts artwork of the time.

Series 3: Cathedrals of S. France

from the book:
Cathedrals of Southern France.
Written by Francis Miltoun and illustrated by Blanche McManus. Boston:
L.C. Page & Co. 1904.
