Pre-Raphaelite Women Artists   
Jan Marsh and Pamela Gerrish Nunn (Manchester City Art Galleries, 1997)


This is the catalogue of what was a slightly disappointing exhibition. Marsh has specialized in women artists and women associated with artists in the Victorian era. However, the case for some of these was not well made by the exhibition, let alone by the reproductions in this book, many of which which are small black-and-white images. On the other hand, some excellent artists (Brickdale, Kate Bunce, Emma Sandys, Stillman and the unmistakable Evelyn de Morgan) who never quite seem to get their own monographs, are well-represented and explained; and rightly get the lioness's share of the (few but excellent) colour illustrations.       Locate a copy of this book at Alibris
