Life

Gage's home, Manor House, Rathlin Island

Catherine Gage was born in County Down on 18 May 1815, the daughter of Rev. Robert Gage and Catherine Boyd.[3] Gage lived her entire life in the family home, Manor House on Rathlin Island.[4] Gage died on 16 February 1892 and was buried on Rathlin Island.[5]

Illustration work

Gage seems to have devoted a large portion of her life to illustrating a book by her brother Robert Gage on the birds of Rathlin Island that was never published.[6] The book was styled on that of John James Audubon's The Birds of America.[6] During the course of this work she produced over five hundred watercolours of birds.[1] She also illustrated local plants, creating a list for the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, the abstract for which was published in the 1850 Annals and Magazine of Natural History.[5] She also worked with her sister, Barbara Gage (1817–1859), illustrating the local flora as well as the fauna.[7]

When the folio of bird illustrations was auctioned in 2010, they were sold for €13,500.[8]
