December 1806 at Strood (Kent); † 27 July 1893 in London) was a British botany and ornithology illustrator. She was one of the best-known English illustrators in this field in the Victorian era. Anne Pratt was born in Strood (Kent, England) as the second of three daughters of the merchant Robert Pratt (1777-1819) and Sara Bundock (1780-1845). As a child she was ailing and suffered from a stiff knee joint. While her sisters played, Anne sat and drew. Through a family friend, Dr. Dods, she was introduced to botany and helped by her older sister by collecting plants. Anne Pratt was educated at Eastgate House in Rochester. In 1826 she moved to Brixton, a district in the London Borough of Lambeth, where she began her career as an illustrator. In 1849 she moved to Dover, in 1866 to East Grinstead, where she married John Pearless in December of the same year. The couple moved to Redhill, later to Shepherd's Bush. Here Anne Pratt died on 27. July 1893, aged 86, at her Rylett Road home. Anne Pratt wrote more than 20 books, which she illustrated with chromolithographs. She also worked with William Dickes (1815-1892), an engraver trained in chromolithography. She wrote her work in a technically correct manner in a popular scientific style and thus contributed to the popularization of botany. Since she was self-taught, however, she was denied professional recognition. Source: WikipediaIf combined shipping via eBay doesn't work, I will of course refund the overpaid shipping costs!
