Sarah Stone worked as a painter and natural history illustrator in England between 1777 and 1820, and although she never visited the Pacific region she became renowned for her depictions of Hawaiian, Pacific and Australian subjects. Her drawings were the first studies of certain natural history species, a fact which makes them of considerable scientific interest.
