Margaret Gatty’s landscape study, rare etching by famous seaweed collector

Description: Margaret Gatty’s landscape study, rare etching by famous seaweed collector Characteristics: British landscape of the mid-19th century (year 1844), Victorian era, sketched and etched by famous writer and collector Margaret Gatty, signed ‘MGY 1844’. Etching glued on white card. Dimensions of etching: 8.1 x 6 cm, with margins: 9.6 x 7.5 cm. See photo for condition. Margaret Gatty (1809-1873) was an influential Victorian writer, marine biologist, and natural historian. She is best known for her literary contributions, particularly in children’s literature, but her legacy holds especially a significant place in the collecting and study of marine algae (seaweeds). She gained fame for her children’s stories, which combined entertainment with moral and educational themes, with ’Parables from Nature’ being highly popular in the 19th century. She was a highly skilled printmaker in etching, with which she illustrated some of her own writings. About us: We collect historic collectibles previously owned by famous collectors and/or institutions, and which represent milestones in the history of collecting. We consider all domains of collecting, from naturalia (minerals, meteorites, fossils, shells, etc.) to artificialia (coins, stamps, sport memorabilia, vintage toys, etc.). We consider objects with impressive pedigrees as well as rare collection catalogues and other unique documents. We have written articles on the history of collecting in various magazines and journals, including Meteorite, Colligo and Archives of Natural History. We make some of our specimens and documents available to other collectors from time to time.
