Biography
Anne Henslow was born on 23 June 1833.[1][2][3] She was the youngest daughter[4] of botanist and Cambridge University professor John Stevens Henslow and Harriet Jenyns, who was the daughter of clergyman George Leonard Jenyns and the sister of naturalist Leonard Jenyns.[5]: 46 Her older sister Frances Harriet married botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker,[5]: 264 and one of her brothers, George, became a professor of botany.[6] In 1859, she married army officer Robert Cary Barnard, who was the son of an old friend of her father's.[4][7] They had eight children.[1][8] Barnard's father was one of the first Cambridge University professors to give illustrated lectures, for which he used poster-size illustrations. Some of these were based on rough sketches by Barnard that were then finished by the botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch.[9] She contributed plates to Curtis's Botanical Magazine in the years 1879–94.[10][3] She also illustrated Daniel Oliver's 1864 Lessons in Elementary Botany, which was built on a manuscript left by her father.[3] It stayed in print for several decades.[10] Although her output was not large, she was considered a very fine botanical artist.[11] Barnard died on 19 January 1899 at Bartlow, the house in Leckhampton where she and her husband had lived for over three decades.[10][3]
