Elizabeth Mary Hocken (née Buckland; 25 October 1848 – 19 April 1933), was a New Zealand artist and translator.
[1] Hocken was born in Auckland on 25 October 1848 to merchants William Buckland and Susan (née Channing).
[1][2] On 24 July 1883, she married Dunedin-based doctor Thomas Hocken at Invercargill's St John's Church.
[3][4] Her husband was a keen collector of documents describing early European settlement in New Zealand, and Hocken used her skills in painting (oils and water-colours), photography and translation to assist him in recording and illustrating his historical work.
[7][8] Hocken also helped her husband translate the text of Abel Tasman’s 1642 voyage from Dutch to English.
