A book of great importance in the literature of antique silver. Everyone knows Hester Bateman, but here are the stories not only of Hester and her children but also of 35 other female silversmiths, working in the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. The text is illustrated with superb photographs of nearly 100 pieces, as well as contemporary portraits and marks. The study was based in large part on the collection of Lorraine and Oliver R. Grace, who donated it to the National Museum of Women in the Arts in 1987.
Hardcover. 9.5"x12", 176 pages, color and black & white illustrations, dust jacket. Minor soil, light wear, jacket with light scuffing.
