Margaret Roscoe (née Lace c. 1786 – 1840) was an early 19th-century English botanical illustrator and author.
[4] Roscoe's work Floral Illustrations of the Seasons was engraved by master aquatintist Robert Havell.
She went on to talk about her premise behind the book:“There is no pursuit which fills the mind with more noble and exalted sentiments than the study of these works of Nature.
To her own sex, to whose particular notice she offers it, she trusts it may prove a useful and correct guide to their tastes, both in their selection for a flower garden, and as objects for their pencil.” [1]Roscoe died in 1840.
[9] John Gibson, an 18th-century artist, dedicated a plaster relief sculpture, which he named "Hope" in honor of Edward and Margaret.
