Life
She was born on 24 November 1779, presumably in London, being the third daughter of William Byrne, engraver, and the sister of Anne Frances Byrne. As a pupil of her father, she exhibited landscape-views at the Academy when she was only twenty, in 1799.
In 1810 she etched the illustrations for A Description of Tunbridge Wells, and among other work entrusted to her were four views for Hakewill's History of Windsor. She exhibited From Eton College Play-fields at the Academy in 1822; and had other pictures there (twenty-one in all) down to 1848.
She died 2 May 1849, aged 70, and was buried at Kensal Green.
