Шаблон:Use dmy dates Charlotte Caroline Sowerby (1820–1865) (sometimes C.C. Sowerby) was a 19th-century British scientific illustrator and a member of the extensive Sowerby family of naturalist-illustrators.
Biography
Charlotte Caroline Sowerby was the oldest daughter of conchologist and illustrator George Brettingham Sowerby I and granddaughter of the naturalist and illustrator James Sowerby.[1][2] Like her father and grandfather, she became a natural history illustrator. Not much is known of her life, but experts consider her illustrations to be of the highest quality.[3]
Some of her work is included in the now-rare book The Illustrated Bouquet (E.G. Henderson & Son, 1857–1864), which includes images by a number of the best-known botanical artists of the period, including Augusta Innes Withers.[1][4][5] Most of the plates in the book are by Sowerby, starting with Plate 10,[6] and range from clematis, dianthus, petunia, and calceolaria to the Australian wildflower Sturt's desert pea (Swainsona formosa, formerly Clianthus dampieri).[7] One illustration of gladiolus takes up a two-page spread.[3]
She also contributed 12 plates to Edward Hamilton's Flora Homeopathica (1852–53).[1]
Although most of Sowerby's known works are botanical illustrations, there is extant an 1854 watercolor by her of a quartz crystal with asbestos inclusions, apparently drawn from a specimen in her family's collection.[8] There are also three drawings of volcanoes made for George Julius Poulett Scrope.[8]
She is buried in a family grave on the west side of Highgate Cemetery with her father George Brettingham Sowerby I and brother George Brettingham Sowerby II.
Legacy
In 1997, a detail of Sowerby's watercolor of Guzmania splendens was included in a British stamp issue.[9]
