Hulme, Frederick Edward (England 1841-1909)
natural history, art & illustration

Hulme pursued an unusual career line that wedded his strong amateur's interest in natural history to an art, illustration and writing livelihood supported by his association with various colleges and other institutions. His best known works are probably the book Natural History, Lore and Legend, and his series of volumes entitled Familiar Wild Flowers. Hulme also wrote on a number of antiquarian subjects.
