Danton O’Day has sent us information about a video he has uploaded on a further early woman illustrator of FitzGerald’s Rubaiyat. His earlier videos on this subject are discussed in https://omarkhayyamrubaiyat.wordpress.com/2023/02/07/first-women-illustrators-of-the-rubaiyat-of-omar-khayyam-13-short-videos/. Danton writes:

I just uploaded a short YouTube video about S.C. Vincent Jarvis. I hope you enjoy it. 

S.C. Vincent Jarvis: Newly Revealed. First Women Illustrators of the Rubaiyat (2:23)—Another woman artist who used initials effectively hiding their gender, Sarah Constance Vincent Jarvis produced 28 B&W images to illustrate and decorate a 1911 Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.  YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/iWD-SiieIk0.

In his video, Danton pays tribute to the article on Vincent Jarvis by Bob Forrest from which the illustration below is taken. See https://www.bobforrestweb.co.uk/The_Rubaiyat/N_and_Q/S_C_Vincent_Jarvis/S_C_Vincent_Jarvis.htm

    In the video, Danton refers to Bob Forrest’s revelation of the full name of S C Vincent Jarvis as taking place in 1922. This date should be 2022, see the article on Bob Forrest’s web site, referenced above.
