"The Flowering Plants of Great Britain, Pratt's major work and considered a cornerstone of botanical illustration and study. This edition was thoroughly revised upon scientific lines by Edward Step, bringing it into line with the science of the day, forty years after it was first issued. Anne Pratt was one of the best known English botanical illustrators of the Victorian age. As a consequence of her poor health she was excluded from school sports and instead encouraged to occupy herself by drawing. "
