Ann Latham (1772 - 1835)
Ann, the daughter of John Latham, collaborated with her father in depicting birds, mammals, and butterflies through the medium of painting. Additionally, she documented the initial Australian bird species dispatched to London. The watercolors were created prior to her marriage in 1795 to a surgeon in Winchester. Subsequent to 1795, Ann ceased working with her father.
