ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Widmung of Love (Jane Loudon)
โBefore the English plant painter Jane Loudon (nรฉe Jane Webb) discovered her love of botany, she was a successful writer. After the death of her parents left her on her own at an early age, she initially used her writing talents to make a living. At the age of twenty, she published the fictional novel โThe Mummy!โ about Egyptian mummies. It is considered a pioneering work of science fiction literature. In it, Loudon described the resurrection of Pharaoh Cheopsโ mummy in the 22nd century. The resurrected pharaoh travels in a balloon from Egypt to England and interferes in political affairs there. In addition to social advances, technical developments also make life easier in the novel. For example, letters are delivered by cannonballs. In agriculture, a steam-powered plow makes work easier. The novel attracted a great deal of public attention at the time. So did the distinguished author John Claudius Loudon, who was known for his books on agriculture and horticulture.โ
