Daughter of Punch cartoonist Henry "Harry" Furniss. (Lifespan 1879–1944 per Wikipedia biography of her father)

Three instructional titles rank 1st, 3rd, and 5th among her most-widely-held works at WorldCat as of 2017-01-19: Drawing for beginners; A new complete drawing course (v. 1. Pastels.--v. 2. & 3. Water-colours and pencil); and Figure-drawing for beginners.

The 2nd and 4th ranking titles on the same list are G.E. Farrow novels that she illustrated with her father, which should both be in the database. (Not jointly illustrated: "page illus. by Harry Furniss and vignettes by Dorothy Furniss")

The earlier of those two, The Wallypug of Why, was the first story published with her drawings, per contemporary newspaper review.
