As we wrap up Women's History Month, I wanted to feature five historic female natural history artists and their marine-inspired art. Part 2 focuses on Lydia Moore Hart.?She made each fish a gem, something precious and rare as a jewel even though we might think of them as common freshwater fish.

Lydia Moore Hart (1864-1948) produced the illustrations for The Fishes of Illinois, drawing?from fish kept in an aquarium so she could draw the fish true to life. See more about her life in the blog of the Biodiversity Heritage Library. All images are courtesy of the Biodiversity Heritage Library.'
