Elizabeth Emily MURRAY (1847-1920). Two watercolors on silk paintings, circular, of a selection feathers from various game birds, each signed ‘E.E. Murray’ (diameter of silk: 4 7/8 inches). [Undated but circa 1890 ?].
Elizabeth Emily Murray: there are over 40 of her works are the British Museum Collection (donated by the artist in 1904), but (apparently) none on silk. The album of her work in the BM includes three letters, two dated in 1887 to her from Ruskin commenting on her work.

Shadowrock Rare Books (https://shadowrockrarebooks.com/): a relatively new multi-faceted book business by a relatively old bookman. Starting in the 1970s, Adam Langlands has worked for most of the great auction houses, and been associated with a number of the greatest dealers. He has examined, researched and catalogued a huge range of books representing many subjects, languages, techniques, dates and price-points: from 'Sky-Hi A trip into space with Terry' (1952, kid's transformational book) to the Fox/Bute copy of Audubon's 'Double-Elephant Folio' (sold at auction for $8,802,500). Inspired by their recent move to a home which previously belonged to both George Simenon (of Maigret fame) and Seymour Hacker (founder of Hacker Art Books), Adam and Susu Langlands have decided to continue the literary connection and set up Shadowrock Rare Books. Today's global online marketplace means that there is a danger that the call of the unique will get drowned out by the cries of the banal: it is the mission of Shadowrock Rare Books to rescue and highlight these gems. Joining Getman’s Virtual Book & Paper Fairs was an obvious next step for us – we have cheered him on from the sidelines from the beginning!
