Eight Drummond children born between 1810 and 1820 were raised in privilege at the dawn of the Victorian age, being contemporaries of Princess Victoria herself. The girls of the fa mily were also child artists, creating a slew of watercolors illustrating the people around them, from aristocrats to servants, and their surroundings with great charm. The author lets us in on the information the drawings convey, including identities, social standing, conventions of dress, and more. Victor Gallancz LTD, London. 1983. Hb, Dj. USED. $11.00 Show more
