Mary Heaviside Love (June 25, 1806 – November 2, 1874), also known as Lady Mary Love and Mary Love, was an artist from British North America active from 1825 to 1842. Her lithograph A view on the St. Croix River, New Brunswick, circa 1830, was possibly the first lithograph made in British North America. She was one of the first British North American artists to go abroad for her studies.
Biography
Love was born Mary Heaviside on June 25, 1806 to parents Thomas and Elizabeth Heaviside. She was the youngest of the Heaviside children. There is some scholarly debate about whether she was born in Saint John, New Brunswick or Halifax, Nova Scotia. In 1819, Love's sister, Anna Maria Heaviside, married clergyman Robert Willis. Another of Love's sisters, Jane, married Alexander Wedderburn in 1923.
Love studied art in the United Kingdom in the 1820s and was one of the first British North American artists to pursue artistic studies abroad. On July 16, 1825, Mary married Lieutenant-Colonel James Frederick Love in New Brunswick. After her marriage, Mary developed her skills in drawing and watercolour. Henry James Morgan remarked that he would like to have Love's watercolours of the Eastern Townships published. The 1960 New Brunswick Museum Art Bulletin described Love's lithographs A view near St. Andrews, New Brunswick (Chamcook) and A view on the St. Croix River, New Brunswick as likely being the first drawn-on-stone lithographs in British North America.
In 1856, her husband was knighted. As a result of his title, Love officially became Lady Mary Love. The Loves travelled to London where James Love died in 1866. The two had no children. Little is known of Mary Love's life after the death of her husband. Love died at Cranley Place, London, England in 1874.
