TWELVE 19TH CENTURY FRAMED PRESSED FERNS FROM NEW ZEALAND COLLECTED AND ARRANGED BY MARY ANN ARMSTRONG (1838-1910)
Mary Ann Armstrong was a British-born botanical fern artist who emigrated to Victoria in 1853 after the death of her mother. Her work, while being an example of the 19th century decorative arts, was also exhibited at International and inter-colonial exhibitions in the 1880’s alongside the work of her male counterparts. She gained a reputation for her technique of blending of the artistic and the scientific as well as commercial success in her output of widely collected albums.
