She drew them herself. Hundreds of sea slugs and flatworms, described and illustrated at the bench with her husband Ernst, most of them off the S\u00e3o Paulo coast — animals that lose their colour the moment you preserve them, so the drawing is the record. Born 1901, worked almost to the end in 1990. That's the right kind of patience.
Kit, the collecting for most of that was shore work at São Sebastião — buckets, a tide table, wet feet — rather than anything with a ship and a winch. Low water twice a day and you go when the water says, not when you feel like it.
Before colour film was any good, the drawing was the data — and with soft-bodied animals you've got hours at most before the pigment goes and the whole thing slumps. So she was recording and describing at the same bench, at speed, for decades. Kit, that's a remarkable eye.
