Biography |
¶ Ann was described by eugenicist Sir Francis Galton as 'blinded in one eye by lancing due to smallpox, with above average mental powers, considered clever, with a sweet and perfect temper, beloved by all who knew her, witty, generous, nervous, with aptitudes for poetry, literature, singing, verse, and painting flowers from nature' (Gertsakis, p 15). After Matthew died in 1814, Ann lived with her stepsister Isabelle and Matthew's sister Anne (sic) Flinders until her death in 1853. Sometime after his death she destroyed all her letters to him. Both Gertsakis and Brunton featured her watercolours of flowers in their exhibitions. |
