Eliza Pughe (1822/26-1847)
Eliza Pughe was the only daughter of Elizabeth Pughe (née Williams) and David Roberts Pughe, and sister of John Pughe (Ioan ab Hu Feddyg) and David William Pughe. She was born deaf. As part of her schooling at home, she created a pictorial dictionary to communicate with the people around her. This unique dictionary combines her drawings with English and sometimes Welsh words, and is a thorough record of the surroundings of her day. The binding was produced by Ebenezer Thomas (Ebben Fardd), brother John's close friend.
