Date is a guess. Born in Philadelphia, Ida Waugh (1846-1919) studied at home with her father as well as at the Pennsylvania Academy, and at the Academie Julian in Paris. Her illustrated children's books were produced with her lifelong companion Amy Blanchard who owned a neighboring summer cottage in Maine.
