[Rarebooks] FS: A Sentimental Wedgwood Artist

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"Lady Diana Beauclerk. Her Life and Work"

By Mrs. Stuart Erskine. Published in London by T. Fisher Unwin in 1903.

A magnificent study of the life and work of Lady Diana Beauclerk
[1734-1808], the former Lady Diana Spencer (and related to Diana, Princess
of Wales), a beautiful and accomplished society lady who, with her friends
Lady Elizabeth Templetown and Miss Emma Crewe, became famous in their day
for their paintings. Perhaps of most interest, Lady Diana created drawings
for Wedgwood, which were translated into relief models by Wedgwood's
modeller William Hackwood and used to produce jasperware featuring
classical subjects with a certain degree of sentimentality. An interesting
adjunct to the Wedgwood story.

Hardcover. 10”x13”, xvi + 316 pages, with many black & white
illustrations, plus 8 tipped-in color plates and 2 steel-engraved plates,
all with tissue guards. Publisher’s red cloth with gilt titles and floral
border decorations.

Covers with rubbing and some soil, hinges a bit shaken, a few old pen
notes on the endpapers; a large, heavy book which has seen some wear. 
$175~
