Martha Emily Mault (also known as Miss Patty Mault) was born 1850 in Coventry, Warwickshire, England, the second and youngest daughter of Alfred Mault, the Surveyor of The City of Coventry, and Elizabeth nee Lamb. Watercolour painter, illuminator, lace-maker and designer, was a member of the planning committee for the Tasmanian Lace Exhibition held at Hobart in 1910 and had work in the exhibition. Also a keen amateur painter and accomplished illuminator like her father, Alfred Mault, the two prepared Tasmania’s Jubilee Address to Queen Victoria in 1887. Miss Mault’s solo elaborate Gothic Revival style illumination of the opening verses of St Mark’s Gospel (undated) was formerly in All Saints Church of England, South Hobart (now Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts [ALMFA]). She also contributed an expertly illuminated Celtic interlace title-page to an album 'Presented to Lady Smith by friends in Tasmania’ in 1883 (ALMFA).
