July 1893 in London) was a British botany and ornithology illustrator. She was one of the most famous English illustrators in this field in the Victorian era. Anne Pratt was born as the second of three daughters of the merchant Robert Pratt (1777–1819) and Sara Bundock (1780–1845) in Strood (Kent, England). As a child she was sickly and suffered from a stiff knee joint. While her sisters played, Anne sat and drew. She was introduced to botany by a family friend, Dr. Dods, and was supported by her older sister who collected plants. Anne Pratt was educated at Eastgate House in Rochester. In 1826 she moved to Brixton, a district in the London Borough of Lambeth, where she began her career as an illustrator. In 1849 she moved to Dover and in 1866 to East Grinstead, where she married John Pearless in December of the same year. The couple moved to Redhill, later to Shepherd's Bush. Anne Pratt died here on 27. July 1893 at the age of 86 at her home in Rylett Road. Anne Pratt wrote more than 20 books, which she illustrated with chromolithographs. She also worked with William Dickes (1815–1892), an engraver trained in chromolithography. She wrote her works in a technically correct, popular scientific style and thus contributed to the popularization of botany. However, since she was self-taught, she was denied professional recognition. Source: Wikipedia Anne Pratt (* 5. December 1806 in Strood (Kent); † 27.
