... that artist Amy Sawyer (pictured) was the only woman to illustrate a work by H. Rider Haggard during his lifetime?

Manchester University Press. https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.3078856 p 201: "This commission is remarkable in the graphic history of Rider Haggard. Well over one thousand unique illustrations were commissioned to accompany the approximately sixty romance fictions Haggard published during his lifetime, but of these only eighteen can be attributed to a woman artist – all by Sawyer for Heart of the World."
