Born at Dolwar-fach farm, Llanfihangel yng Ngwynfa, north Powys. It is likely that she received some measure of education and that she was immersed in the local poetic traditions. The family was devout and regularly attended the local parish church. Gradually members of the family came under the influence of the evangelical or Methodist revival. During the mid 1790s Ann Griffiths experienced this spiritual revival and joined the Methodist society or seiat that met at Pontrobert. During this period she started composing rhymes and hymns which she would recite to Ruth Hughes, a maid on Dolwar-fach farm. Ruth memorised these works, and they were eventually published by her husband, John Hughes, Pontrobert. Following the death of her father early in 1804, Ann married, but in August 1805 after giving birth to a daughter who survived for only two weeks, she died and was buried in Llanfihangel cemetery. Sadly, Ann wrote down only a few of her poems.Condition report: Comments: slight early foxing to edge of papers

(Van der Krogt 1, 412)I.: 34,8 x 37,9 / sheet: 38,5 x 49 cm. Litt.:- Van der Krogt 1 - 7492:1.1Joannes Janssonius (Arnhem, 1588-1664) married Elisabeth Hondius in Amsterdam in 1612. He was the son of the Arnhem publisher Jan Janssen, she was the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, a Flemish engraver and cartographer. Thus they were both linked to the mapmaking industry. After their marriage they settled down in Amsterdam, while he was occupied as a bookseller and publisher of atlases and maps. In 1618 he established his bookshop next to Blaeu in Amsterdam. The competition became even more serious when he started copying Blaeu’s ‘Licht der Zeevaert’ in 1620, after the expiration of the privilege previously held by Blaeu’s succesor. Besides publishing atlases, books and single maps Janssonius was deeply involved in booktrading business with branches in amongst others Berlin, Frankfurt, Copenhagen and Stockholm.In 1631 he started cooperating with Henricus Hondius. In 1640 Henricus Hondius left the business completely to Janssonius. Rivalry with Willem Blaeu’s succesor Joan encouraged him to enlarge his own Atlas Novus into six volumes, also enclosing a sea atlas and an atlas of the Old World.
