[An Album:] Presented to Mr and Mrs Longmaid, by Miss Mulley and the former Students of The Ladies College, Kendal... For July 15. 1913, Oct. 8. 1913.
Book Description
calligraphic title-page in red and black ink, 38 photographs of various types laid down all identified by the maiden names of those depicted, accompanied by an equal number of cards and letters bearing messages to the Longmaids, a 2pp. printed poem by Martha B. Baker tipped in,
Dealer Notes
A handsome tribute to William Henry Longmaid and his wife Margaret (née Brown), Quaker schoolteachers who ran the College for ten years before her health took them to Southport and a smaller establishment in 1880. His educational specialism was science, but in later life he established a reputation as an artist.
Excepting Miss Mulley, who heads the group, the album is arranged alphabetically (by maiden name): the names Braithwaite, Crosfield, Pecover, Richardson and Sim recur. Amongst the ex-pupils is Rachel Juliet Fox (née Fowler), the first president of the Panacea Society - an organisation founded after the Great War and based on the teachings of Joanna Southcott.
