Published in 1959, Hester Bateman: Queen of English Silversmiths is the first full-scale scholarly study of one of the most important figures in eighteenth-century English silver. David S. Shure traces Bateman's life, workshop practice, and family enterprise, situating her work within the London silver trade and Georgian decorative arts. The volume includes eighty-six photographic plates illustrating silver by Bateman and her descendants, documenting marks, forms, and stylistic development with clarity and authority. This copy is the first edition issued by Doubleday & Company, printed in England by The Bowering Press and bound in crash canvas. The book is set in Baskerville and Perpetua type and illustrated with 150-screen halftone plates. The binding remains firm and square, with clean, bright pages throughout. Text pages on a heavier matte finish. Light underlining in pencil. Plates are bright on a glossy stock. Original jacket present with light edge wear and minor rubbing. Small chips at corners and spine ends, with some old clear tape reinforcement visible along edges. Overall well-preserved and attractive. A foundational reference for collectors, curators, and historians of English silver, this work remains the standard modern introduction to Hester Bateman's career and enduring influence. David S. Shure was a respected authority on English silver and decorative arts, known for his meticulous archival research and close study of workshop practices. His work helped reestablish Hester Bateman's reputation as a central figure in Georgian silversmithing and remains widely cited in museum and auction catalogues.
