Doulton Studio notes. New series, numbers 10 and 15, and volume 10. 1887-1888-1891
3 volumes, octavo, 226 x 150mm. Manuscript on paper in ink, illustrated throughout with original drawings, watercolours and musical notation (see footnote), idiosyncratic pagination in each volume, comprising approximately 100 pages, 118 pages and 138 pages, 2 volumes in contemporary half calf, one in original cloth. Provenance: J.H. Mott – and thence by direct descent to the present consigner.

Richly illustrated Doulton Lambeth’s in-house manuscript newsletter compiled from factory artists’ contributions, and ‘published’ by circulating each unique copy internally. Each volume contains at least 6 separate articles on wide-ranging topics such as English furniture, wildlife, opera, and the monastic orders, as well as artistic studies, shaped poems, photographs, songs, quizzes, readers’ correspondence and editorial notes. All abundantly and meticulously illustrated with landscapes, portraits, cartoons, etc. in India-ink, watercolour, and pencil, with many other illustrations not connected to the text, by Florence Jones, Hannah Barlow, and Arthur Pearce, among others.

The Studio Notes series was under rotating editorship, with Walter Gandy (no.10 n.s and no.15 n.s.) and J.H. Mott (vol.10) as editors of the present copies. Walter Gandy was Head of the Architectural Office and Catalogue section from about 1890 and designed wares for Doulton from 1880-1932, while Mott was Art Director of Doulton Lambeth at the time of production of Studio Notes. Out of the 40 or so original volumes assembled over c.10 years (1883-1892) only half have been traced.
