Biography from Jim's Of Lambertville:
| Artist Florence Francis was born in London and came to New York in the early 1880s to study at the Art Students League. In 1888, she married fellow English artist, Henry Bayley Snell. After settling in New York, they made frequent summer visits to the Lathrop's at Phillips Mill, near New Hope. Henry Snell had met William Lathrop years earlier when the two young artists worked together in a printing and engraving company, and a close friendship resulted. The Snells moved to New Hope permanently around 1925. They lived above the Solebury National Bank in New Hope at the foot of the New Hope-Lambertville bridge.
Florence Snell was a member of the New York Watercolor Club, the American Watercolor Society, the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors and the National Arts Club.
She exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association, the National Academy of Design, the Boston Art Club, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Corcoran Gallery Biennials, the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors (1913 prize, 1915 prize and the National Arts Club (prize).
