Biography
Agnes Edith Fooks was born in Dartford, Kent, England in 1851. She married Rashleigh Holt-White in Dartford on 23 December 1879, vice-president of the Selborne Society.
Mrs. Holt White was the author and illustrator of The butterflies and moths of Teneriffe (1894). Her husband, Rashleigh, edited the book. She was a connection by marriage of Gilbert White, of Selborne. In 1892–93, Mrs. Holt White spent the winter in Teneriffe for her health. The book she authored and provided the illustrations for are the result of her observations.
In 1917, she made a loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum of six English 18th century "firing-glasses" from Bristol, engraved with masonic and other emblems. In 1926, she donated two sketches of the old Chain Pier, Brighton, to the Sussex Archaeological Society's library.
In July 1931, Sotheby's held an auction of Holt-White's books.
Agnes Holt White resided at 3 Warrior Square Terrace, St Leonards-on-Sea, England. She died in that town on 2 February 1933.
