NORTH, MARIANNE (18301890)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 759 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NORTH, MARIANNE (18301890) ,
English
  naturalist and flower-painter, was born at Hastings on the 24th of October 183o, the eldest daughter of a Norfolk landowner, descended from Roger North (16J3-1734). She trained as a vocalist under Madame Sainton Dolby, but her voice failed, and she then devoted herself to
painting
 
flowers
 . After the death of her
mother
  in 1855 she constantly travelled with her father, who was then member of
parliament
  for Hastings; and on his death in 1869 she resolved to realize her early ambition of
painting
  the flora of distant countries. In 1871-1872 with this
object
  she went to Canada, the United States and Jamaica, and spent a yearin Brazil, where she did much of her
work
  at a hut in the depths of a forest. In 1875, after a few months at Teneriffe, she began a journey round the world, and for two years was occupied in painting the flora of California, Japan, Borneo, Java and
Ceylon
 . The year 1878 she spent in India, and after her return she exhibited a number of her drawings in London. Her subsequent offer to present the collection to the botanical gardens at Kew, and to erect a gallery for their reception, was accepted, and the new buildings, designed by James Ferguson, were begun in the same year. At Darwin's suggestion she went to Australia in 188o, and for a year painted there and in New Zealand. Her gallery at Kew was opened in 1882. In 1883, after a visit by her to
South
  Africa, an additional room was opened at the Kew gallery, and in 1884-1885 she worked at Seychelles and in Chile. Miss North died at Alderly in Gloucestershire on the 3oth of August 189o. The scientific accuracy with which she represented plant
life
  in all parts of the world gives her
work
  a permanent value.
