Britton, Louise Esther
Louise Esther (Weibel) Britton (1900 - 1988) was an American artist. Born in the United States, she attended high school in Montreal at Montreal High School before attending McGill University. She graduated with a LLB (Bachelor of Laws) in 1922 and an LLM (Master of Laws) in 1923, although she never practiced law. She married Dr. Sydney Britton (February 24, 1892 - 19??) in 1924 and they settled in Virginia. We are aware of only 2 maps issued by Britton, a pictorial map of the University of Virginia and another of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. A letter surfaced from the author's daughter pasted to the back of a framed copy of the map suggests that most copies were lost to flooding at her beach house and the original plates were lost in a fire at the Richmond printing house.
