Frances Emilia Crofton

In 1854 she published Eight Views, a folio edition of lithograph prints of her original landscape paintings of Britain and Ireland, to be sold for charitable purposes.

She married Anglo-Irish landowner William Crofton, a naval surgeon and justice of the peace, and lived for the rest of her life in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and at Lakefield, a mansion with a large estate in County Leitrim, Ireland.

In 1902, at the time of the accession of Edward VII, she presided over the "enthusiastic" celebrations organised for her family's estate workers at Lakefield in Ireland, and was congratulated for that.

On the same occasion her nephew, Captain Duke Crofton, proposed a toast to the health of the new king, but "in doing so referred to the offensive terms of the Coronation Oath to His Majesty's Catholic subjects".

[29][28][30] A Dublin bookseller Penelope Gibson has said, "The plates are in striking detail showing scenery chiefly of the Irish country side, castles, abbeys and ruins".

The list includes the bishops of St Asaph, Cashel and Waterford, Killaloe, Peterborough, Ripon, Winchester and other clergy, titled personages and military officers, besides members of the middle classes.
