Ve Elizabeth Cadie (1893–1956) was an early Twentieth Century American illustrator of children's books and magazines, a stylist, and a designer. She worked as an illustrator for the P. F. Volland Company and Rand McNally & Company, and as a designer for W. S. George Pottery Company, where she was responsible for the "Calico" design. Her images appeared on the cover of magazines like Child Life in the 1930s. In articles about design for the home, she was described as a "prominent designer", "whose originality is causing quite a stir in art and industry."

This is a beautiful little book and would make an excellent addition to any collection! Please reach out for any additional information.
