Creator
Esdaile, Katharine Ada (1881-1950)(Opens in new tab)
Provenance
Purchased by the Huntington Library in 1962. The collection was initially accessioned into the Huntington Art Reference Library in 1962. Sometime afterwards, the printed books and pamphlets were removed, separately catalogued, and shelved with the main body of the Art Reference Books, and the photographs were removed to the Photo Study Collection. In 2005, the Art Reference Library collection was merged into the main collection of the Huntington Library and the decision was made to re-integrate the printed material and photographs of the Esdaile collection into the papers.

    Notebook #44

    Manuscripts

    Address Book used as an early dictionary/notebook largely on sculptors, but also on monuments and materials (e.g. alabaster 'painting of monuments'). Rather haphazard arrangements; mainly collection of notes. Includes a 1927 letter to Katharine Esdaile tipped in.

    Notebook #95

    Manuscripts

    (Address Book with both covers missing.) Seems to be a detailed alphabetical list of sculptors, artists, personalities, royalty, and from letter D onward, people of note who filed their wills in Canterbury, including lengthy note on Peter Esdaile's will and other Esdaile family members.

    Manuscripts

    With 4 covers, including one titled "Wills, Patents, etc."--2 front covers and 2 back covers. The book is a thick address book with alphabetical entries for individual sculptors and schools/geographical areas of sculptors and to have nothing to do with 'wills' or 'patents.' This is possibly an early version of the Sculptors Dictionary.
