Description
Ellis Rowan (1848-1922) was a painter, naturalist, writer and explorer. For almost 50 years, she travelled to remote parts of Australia, India, Europe, America and New Guinea in pursuit of exotic flowers and wildlife to paint. One of Australia's most-loved botanical artists, she was a woman who made her mark at a time when scientific illustration was a male domain.
This 1000-piece puzzle of Rowan's New Zealand Christmas Bush painted c.1893 is a beautiful gift for a lover of her artwork and a challenging and rewarding puzzle experience. More of her works can be found in the book Artists of the National Library of Australia: Ellis Rowan.
