Sketcher, was the wife of the Governor of Victoria, Sir Henry B. Loch. Her drawing of the view from the vice-regal summer residence in Mount Macedon was published as a small cameo in the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia . It was, says Tony Hughes-D’Aeth, 'rather at odds with the other illustrations’, but her husband was an early supporter of the enterprise – seeing it as 'promoting the fast-growing movement of federation’. He was given a large portrait in the book and both Lord and Lady Loch were fulsomely praised by the writer and art critic James Smith.
