Emily Bowes Gosse (10 November 1806 – 10 February 1857[1][2]) was a prolific religious tract writer and author of evangelical Christian poems and articles.
She attended the Plymouth Brethren assembly in Hackney, where she met her future husband, Philip Henry Gosse.
[3] Emily died in Islington after a painful and protracted battle with breast cancer and was buried in Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke Newington.
"[5] It has been incorrectly claimed that Emily was a Victorian landscape painter who studied with John Sell Cotman, and an illustrator whose work includes the uncredited chromolithographs for her husband P. H. Gosse's book The Aquarium: an unveiling of the wonders of the deep sea (1854).
In total, at least sixty-three Emily Gosse narrative or gospel tracts were published, with an aggregate sale of seven million copies by 1866.
