More evidence of great 19th century lady naturalists like Alma. Here is the work of Amelia Griffiths (1768-1858) gifted scholar who corresponded with the foremost algae and seaweed experts of her time. (I LOVE THAT SENTENCE!) Her great companion was Mary Wyatt who kept a pressed plant shop in Torquay. The two ladies co-operated in their collecting and produced two volumes of pressed and named seaweeds found in the neighbourhood of Torbay, called Algae Danmoniensis. Worked into her 80’s.

One of Ernst Haeckel’s biological illustrations. Haeckel was a 19th century naturalist and artist who created beautiful, detailed illustrations of plants, insects and animals…Ambrose’s work is somewhat based on this sort of mastery.
