FEATON, Sarah Ann (Mrs E. H. Featon)

Painter of New Zealand flora. The plates of Mr and Mrs Featon's Art Album of New Zealand Flora pub. 1889 were from water-colour drawings by Sarah Ann Featon. The book was the first fully coloured one to be printed in New Zealand. There were to have been two other volumes but one account has it that the material was destroyed by a flood in the Government Printer's basement.
