Manuscripts

Notebook #99

Description: Rather misleading title, as there appear to be no detailed references to Italy or Iceland; rather this is another alphabetical workbook with references to numerous sculptors, sculptures, and a few churches. Noteworthy are alphabetical listings for masons who died c. 1660. Includes an enclosed letter dated 1940.
Type: Manuscripts(Opens in new tab)
Date: Approximately 1940?
Call number: mssEsdaile
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

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 #88

Manuscripts

A series of detailed extracts from the eighteenth century works of Vertue including his travel notebooks, autobiographical materials and account books. Irrelevant to record of churches & places but noteworthy because of Vertue's influence on Katharine Esdaile's work (not indexed).
