134pp, generously illustrated in colour. In laminated, illustrated card covers (very slightly rubbed at edges). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Elizabeth Ilive had an extraordinary life, from the shadow of the workhouse to the mistress and eventually the wife of the immensely wealthy 13th Earl of Egremont. Her invention, agricultural experimentation, patronage of William Blake and interests in art and science marked her out as a women of ability and wide interests. But subsequent generations consigned her to obscurity. This book attempts to put her in her rightful place as a women of notable achievements. Large format. 4to.
