Nancy Bell (author)

Nancy Regina Emily Meugens Bell (2 September 1844 – 30 August 1933)[1][2] was a British translator and author of partial Belgian descent.

He variously gave his occupation on census returns and birth registration forms as colonial broker or merchant.

These were: The family lived in Southend-on-Sea on 5 April 1891 and described themselves as authoress (Nancy) and artist (Arthur) on the census return.

[3] The Bells were still there in 1901, but the 1911 Census found them at St Georges, Queens Road, Richmond, Surrey.

Bell held an exhibition of her husband's work in Rasgarth in 1920 to raise funds for the blind.

[4] In 1902, the publisher George Bell & Sons contracted her to write a biography of James McNeill Whistler.

[5] Many of Bell's books were illustrated by her husband Arthur, and the lithographs form an important example of his work.
