Margaret Rebecca Dickinson

Her watercolour paintings of plants collected around her homes, and other parts of the British Isles are in the archives of the Royal Horticultural Society and the Great North Museum: Hancock.

They were mostly collected in the region around the Newcastle and Scottish Borders where she lived, but some were from North Wales and Upper Teesdale, while others came from Cirencester, Kent, Ireland and Devon.

[1] Four hundred and fifty eight of her wildflower painting are held by the Natural History Society of Northumbria at the Great North Museum: Hancock in collaboration with the University of Newcastle, along with her field notes and an annotated copy of The British Flora by William Hooker.

[1] The Royal Horticultural Society holds her Album of Narcissus that has 30 paintings of daffodil cultivars and species that she made between May 1886 and April 1893.

[4] Poet Linda France was inspired in 2018 to write the poem Portrait of the Artist as an Island Flower by the paintings Dickinson made after visiting Lindisfarne.

The Women Naturalists of North East England exhibition included a cover photo which was misidentified as Dickinson.
