Biography
Martha Emily Mault (also known as Miss Patty Mault) was born in 1850 in Coventry, Warwickshire, England, the second and youngest daughter of Alfred Mault, the Surveyor of The City of Coventry, and Elizabeth nee Lamb. Alfred, who was born in India, was the son of missionaries Charles Mault (1791-1858) & Martha Mead (1794-1870). Patty was a watercolour painter, illuminator, lace-maker and designer. She was a member of the planning committee for the Tasmanian Lace Exhibition held at Hobart in 1910 and had work in the exhibition. Also a keen amateur painter and accomplished illuminator like her father, Alfred Mault, the two prepared Tasmania’s Jubilee Address to Queen Victoria in 1887. Miss Mault’s solo elaborate Gothic Revival style illumination of the opening verses of St Mark’s Gospel (undated) was formerly in All Saints Church of England, South Hobart (now Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts [ALMFA]). She also contributed an expertly illuminated Celtic interlace title-page to an album 'Presented to Lady Smith by friends in Tasmania’ in 1883 (ALMFA). Martha died on 6th October 1918 in Hobart. Her will left all her estate to her sister Agnes Mault(1849-1923). Neither sister married. This record is a stub. You can help by submitting a biography.
