Margaret Neilson Armstrong (1867-1944) was a 19th and early 20th century American book cover designer, illustrator, and author. She is best known for her book covers influenced by Art Nouveau. She also wrote and illustrated the first comprehensive guide to wildflowers of the American west, Field Book of Western Wild Flowers (1915). She began her career as a book cover designer in the late 1880s, initially doing commissions for Charles Scribner's Sons and A.C. McClurg and later for other publishers as well. She designed more than 314 book covers and book bindings, about half of which were for Scribner's. Her later work was influenced by Art Nouveau and favored plant-related motifs, bold colors, gold stamping, and often slightly asymmetrical designs in compositions that often seemed to be moving while standing still. Beginning in 1895, Armstrong began leaving her monogram on most of her covers; it is a simple "MA" in upper case with the "M" slightly overlapping the "A". Armstrong's designs were so successful, sometimes publishers would hire artists specifically to imitate her look. COLI1909ABCX FORN-SHELF-0490-XX-2602-HK3310.
