She was the aunt of Sir William Gordon-Cumming, 4th Baronet. She was educated at Fulham, London. She taught herself how to paint, and had help from artists visiting her home, including one of Queen Victoria s favourite painters, Sir Edwin Landseer. After spending a year in India in 1867, she became interested in travel. Places she visited include: Australia, New Zealand, America, Hawaii, China, and Japan. Her best known books are At Home in Fiji and A Lady s Cruise on a French Man-of-War.
