There was this great girl’s teen fiction book I loved about 30 years ago. The main character was a poor young girl who started working for Godey’s Lady’s Book, tinting some of the illustrations. I think it was “Young and Fair” by Rosamund du Jardin, but I don’t have the book so I can’t check.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
