Harbour worked for The Raphael Tuck Publishing Company by 1919.At first, she created illustrations like 18th-century paintings of gardens and flowers for calendars. International orders came into the company for her "delightfully distinctive, bright and pleasant" cards. Her prints were very successful and Raphael Tuck made an arr'angement with Reinthal & Newman of New York to hand-print the works for the United States market. In 1921, she illustrated My Favourite Book of Fairy Tales' for Raphael Tuck. She also illustrated 'My Book of Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes' and Hans Andersen's 'Stories'.
