Phyllis Miriam Purser (1893–1989) (née Palmer) was a successful postcard artist in the style of Mabel Lucie Attwell. Her warm-hearted and humorous designs were extremely popular and continued to be printed long after her death.
Purser's father was a printer and stationer at Grantham, and she studied at Nottingham School of Art. After a period in Paris, she returned to England in 1921 and produced designs for various publishing companies, such as J. Salmon of Sevenoaks, Photocrom of Tunbridge Wells and Vivian Mansell Postcards. In later years she returned to painting, and exhibited at the Society of Women Artists in 1973. Salmon and Vivian Mansell continued to publish her work long after her death.
