“This account was given by Anna Simons, a remarkable young Prussian woman who came to England to study because women students were not admitted in Prussian art schools of the period. She was one of the best students Johnston had ever had and certainly one of those who exercised the greatest influence afterwards, for she disseminated his teaching throughout Germany where it was perhaps more fruitful, evenm than in England.” Edward Johnston biography by Priscilla Johnston, Barrie & Jenkins 1976.
