Hawthorn, Whitethorn & Cotoneaster, and Wild Apple, White Bean, & True Service Trees #LW35

Jane Webb Loudon (1807-1858) struggled with financial difficulties all her life. Left impoverished by the father, she wrote a novel, "The Mummy, Tales for the Twenty Second Century", which became a bestseller. Through it, she met her husband, a botanical illustrator. She decided to write botanical books the ordinary person could understand. Her first, "Instructions in Gardening for Ladies", was a great success.

She is renowned for her monumental works with lavish plates, including The Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Annuals, The Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, and British Wild Flowers. Each print measures approximately 8 1/4 inches wide by 11 1/2 inches long. References include Nissen 1237; Great Flower Books (1990), p.115
