"About the Digital Victorian Periodical Poetry Project:
The Victorian era was flooded with poetry. The exploding market for serial print, where most Victorians read poems, meant that periodicals (including annuals, magazines, and newspapers) were the main poetry publishers. And the periodical poetry was extensive and varied. The goal of the Digital Victorian Periodical Poetry Project (DVPP), generously funded by two SSHRC Insight Grants (2017-2023, 2023-2028), is to uncover, collate, and analyze a large body of periodical poetry, based on a generous and varied range of Victorian periodical print in the University of Victoria’s Special Collections.
Our guiding questions are to ask: What was the most read Victorian poetry? How do the literary, formal, and material features of periodical poetry challenge scholarly taxonomies of genre, prosody, and print culture? How does Victorian periodical poetry offer a more historically nuanced literary history? DVPP allows users to conduct quantitative analysis of literary texts in order to challenge traditional literary histories, by giving ways of searching evidence of literary change over time (e.g. rhyme innovations, types of authorship, genre trends, developments in illustration, changes to publication practices).
DVPP offers three inter-related projects: a digital index of all periodical poems and poetry translations in English across full runs of 28 periodicals, magazines, and newspapers; a digital edition of representative periodical poetry, encoded for poetic and material features; a personography based on poets, translators, and illustrators."

This is a designer who is referenced a couple of times in "American Printer" magazine, but only as "Miss D. Fletcher". It is likely she is actually the designer who was using the monogram that has previously been attributed to Florence Pearl England Nosworthy in other literature about book cover designers.
