In the Festschrift dedicated to her published by the Corona Press in 1938, Emcke recalled that it was Simons who taught him the methods of Edward Johnston in 1905, and that it was "above all the manner in which she communicated this knowledge that she exercised such a profound influence upon my work." Johnston wrote of her, "Anna Simons was one of the best Students (perhaps, in some things the best Student) I have ever taught. She had a natural aptitude for the Work and a sincerity and directness of outlook which enabled her to master the essential elements very rapidly, and later, to develop it into her own practical and beautiful Work." Initial and terminal gatherings open, linen tapes firm, else fine.
