Anne Lister (illustrator)

[1] Her father published De cochleis which included illustrations signed by Anna and her sister.

[1] Anne and her sisters work was used by their father because he considered that the best engravers were not equally reliable.

The illustrations were thought to be essential for the book as her father wanted them to distract critics from his interest in molluscs.

The engravings were used in reprints and many of the original watercolours are extant at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

[1] It was believed that the copper plates were lost but her biographer, Anna Marie Roos, found that they were safely stored in the Bodleian Library.
