Janet Laura Scott (1888-1968) was an illustrator and landscape artist. She was known for her work with the PF Volland publishing company and later, as a prominent regional watercolorist in Maine. Over the course of her career, she illustrated greeting cards, calendars, baby books, several issues of Child Life magazine, and Child Craft articles, some of which continued to be in print in multiple editions. She designed Raggedy Ann dolls for the PF Volland, who published Johnny Gruelle, and illustrated the Bobbsey Twins books. In 1926, she met the artist Carroll Thayer Berry when working for a Chicago advertising agency. During the Depression they moved back to Berry s native New England, where they bought a house in Wiscasset, Maine. Their home became a meeting place for craftsmen and artists of the region. She continued working in illustration, usually under the name Janet Scott Berry. . N° de ref. del artículo 005839
