Part of the Royal Society’s 175 year celebration, see the work of naturalist and illustrator Louisa Anne Meredith. She was the first woman to be elected as an Honorary Member of the Royal Society of Tasmania in 1881.
She published at least twelve books, including poetry, fiction and biographical accounts of her life in Australia, as well as studies of local flora and fauna, including Some of My Bush Friends in Tasmania (1860) which contained full-colour plates printed by the new chromolithography process, and Tasmanian Friends and Foes, Feathered, Furred and Finned (1880).
