Una Leonora Weatherby

During a European trip, she met the botanist Charles Alfred Weatherby, was commissioned to illustrate his works, and the two subsequently married.

Born on 11 October 1878 in Texas, United States of America, she was the daughter of Arthur Crawford Foster, a wealthy school teacher, lawyer and real estate agent.

[3][4] Una attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas, from 1896, before receiving a scholarship to study a Bachelor of Science degree at Shorter Female College in Rome, Georgia.

[1][7] When the 1913 English publication Wild Flower Preservation, by Mae Coley was being adapted to the U.S. market, to feature North American species, Una was commissioned to create a new illustration of Robin's Plantain.

[2][1] Throughout the 1920s, Una photographed tombstones throughout New England, and after her death her work was reappraised as a "pioneer" in a period where grave stones and their decorative motifs had received little scholarly attention.
