From Wikipedia:
Marguerite first trained as a harpist at the Royal Academy of Music but spent much of her spare time drawing animals. She went to the United States in 1910 on holiday with friends but stayed there.[4] She was not successful in advancing her musical career and focused her attention increasingly on her animal drawing, which she developed by frequent sketching trips to the Bronx Zoo.[5]
In 1921 she started producing etchings of dogs, for which she became well-known. She published Dogs (1930) and Dogs in the Field (1935) and produced many other works as book illustrations and commissions. She illustrated two books by Rudyard Kipling, "Lassie Come-Home" by Eric Knight, and many other children's books.
In 1924 she married George C. Cole, with whom she ran the Tobermory kennels near Bridgewater, Connecticut.
