Her style aligns with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood through a focus on medievalism and nature. She used watercolour and ink to create scenes with heavy shadows and precise lines. Unlike the lighter illustrations common in the mid-nineteenth century, her work often contains a darker, melancholic atmosphere. She preferred to depict the natural world with scientific accuracy while placing it within fantastical or mythic settings.

Collectors value her prints for their atmospheric quality and historical place in the Golden Age of Illustration. Her work fits well in modern interiors that favour a moody or Victorian aesthetic. The combination of botanical detail and Gothic fantasy provides a sophisticated alternative to standard nursery art. Her illustrations remain relevant for those who appreciate the intersection of fine art and storytelling.
