Much of thecollection relates to her research of British monumental sculpture. Notably the collection includes more than 600 chieflypre-World War II visitor booklets and pamphlets produced locally by British churches and approximately 3500 photographstaken or collected by Esdaile of sculpture, often funerary monuments in English churches.Language: English.AccessOpen to qualified researchers by prior application through the Reader Services Department.

Sometime afterwards, theprinted books and pamphlets were removed, separately catalogued, and shelved with the main body of the Art ReferenceBooks, and the photographs were removed to the Photo Study Collection. In 2005, the Art Reference Library collection wasmerged into the main collection of the Huntington Library and the decision was made to re-integrate the printed materialand photographs of the Esdaile collection into the papers. In May 2005, John Houlton, with the assistance of Marilyn Olsen,compiled a preliminary finding aid and inventory of the collection, which was revised in October 2006, by Catherine Wehreyin March 2013, and Diann Benti in 2016.Biographical NoteBritish art historian Katharine Ada Esdaile (née McDowall) was born in Sussex, England, on April 23, 1881, to AndrewMcDowall and Ada Benson.Esdaile attended Oxford University and was a scholar at Lady Margaret Hall, reading in Classical Archaeology. In 1903, shebegan working and studying in the British Museum, researching ancient Greece and Rome; in 1904, her first article, “TheSo-Called Sardanapolus” (Greek statuary), was published in the Journal of Hellenic Studies. In 1911, Esdaile visited Italy. Ayear later, her work Walpole and Chatham (1714-1760) was published by G. Bell & Sons.While Esdaile's initial research focused on ancient Greek and Roman art, in the 1920s, she turned her attention chiefly toEnglish sculpture and sculptors. As a writer, much of Esdaile's works focused on sculpture, but she also tackled subjects asdiverse as art criticism and political commentary, producing editorials, articles, and a flow of correspondence with TheTimes.During World War II, she was a voice drawing public attention to the need to safeguard the treasures stored in churchesbeing bombed around the country. She became the only woman on a committee of eight (including Sir Kenneth Clark),charged with implementing plans to preserve stained glass, statuary, and church treasures during air raids.


mssEsdaile 3

Esdaile published approximately ten books between 1912 and 1946, including works on the sculptor Louis FrancoisRoubiliac, English church monuments, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields, as well as some 300 published articles. One of herlargest projects was never published: the Sculptors’ Dictionary, a source-book of artists from many countries who worked inthe United Kingdom from the 11th to the late 19th century. Esdaile was a prodigious writer and researcher, although someof her conclusions have proven inaccurate in the face of later scholarship. Her entry in the Oxford Dictionary of NationalBiography notes, "Although many of her attributions were to be questioned, Esdaile deserves credit for making Englishpost-medieval sculpture seem worthy of attention, and her work was the foundation on which others built."In 1907, Esdaile married Arundell Esdaile (1880-1956), who worked at the British Museum from 1903 until 1940, serving assecretary from 1926 onward. The Esdailes had three children: James Edmund Kennedy Esdaile (1910-1994), EmmelineEleanor Esdaile (1913-1994), known as Eleanor Esdaile and later Eleanor Wood, and Martin Kennedy Esdaile (1919-1987).James Edmund Kennedy Esdaile, known as Edmund Esdaile, collaborated with his mother and continued to research Englishsculpture after her death.Katharine A. Esdaile died on August 31, 1950.Source consulted: Malcolm Baker, 'Esdaile, Katharine Ada (1881–1950)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, OxfordUniversity Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com.huntington.idm.oclc.org/view/article/33026, accessed 2 Sept 2016]Scope and ContentThis collection contains the papers of English art historian Katharine Ada Esdaile (1881-1950), with the bulk of the materialsrelating to her research and writings on British monumental sculpture, sculptors, and church monuments from the medievalperiod to 19th century. Material types include personal writings, diaries, correspondence, business papers, family papersand photographs, research files and research notebooks, and miscellaneous published and unpublished materials. Notablythe collection includes more than 600 chiefly pre-World War II visitor booklets and pamphlets produced locally by Britishchurches and approximately 3500 photographs taken or collected by Esdaile of sculpture, often funerary monuments inEnglish churches.This collection provides a resource for viewpoints on monumental sculpture in the early 20th century (for instance asrepresented in book reviews by Esdaile) and for information about Esdaile's experience as a woman art historian in theearly 20th century. Given the broadness of Esdaile's scope, from medieval to 19th century British monumental sculpture,the collection is less useful for specific information about monuments or sculptors. In addition, many of Esdaile'sattributions in her notes appear to have been based primarily on her own instincts and do not have citations. Many ofEsdaile's notes are handwritten on small scraps of paper or are fragments, sometimes making the information difficult toparse.The collection is chiefly Esdaile's files, but the dates on some items (such as post-1950 booklets) indicate the collection wasadded to and used after her death, presumably by Edmund Esdaile, who also made notes on items in the collection andappears to have done the preliminary organization of the papers after Esdaile's death.Personal and Professional PapersBoxes 1-3 contain Esdaile's personal and professional papers and include autobiographical writings, business documentsrelated to Esdaile's publications, miscellaneous family photographs and ephemera, and reports, clippings documentsreflecting Esdaile's preservation activities, chiefly during World War II.Family papersBoxes 4-7 contain family papers and consist chiefly of writings and correspondence by Esdaile's son Edmund Esdaile,including his own works on art and sculpture. In addition there are some papers of Esdaile's husband Arundell Esdaile andtheir son Martin Esdaile, and published essays by William Esdaile, presumably Arundell's father.CorrespondenceBoxes 8-15 contain over 3,000 pieces of correspondence chiefly to Katharine Esdaile from fellow enthusiasts of Englishsculpture, friends and family, publishers, and scholars, including 275 letters from historian Rupert Gunnis. While much ofthe correspondence to Esdaile concerns her research, the letters also offer information about her social and family life,World War II, and the arts and her work. There are only about 50 outgoing letters from Esdaile.WritingsBoxes 16-29, 85, and 92-101 contain Esdaile's published and unpublished writing, chiefly about sculpture. Boxes 25-29contain published versions of Esdaile's writing chiefly comprised of clippings and, to a lesser extent, full issues ofperiodicals (such as The Architect, Burlington Magazine and Country Life) containing her articles.Notebooks of Katharine and Edmund EsdaileBoxes 31-45 contain research notebooks kept by Katharine and Edmund Esdaile chiefly to make notes on British sculpturesthey viewed on trips throughout England. The notebooks often contain pencil drawings and brief notes or transcriptions,and they vary in their degree of legibility.

Scope and Content NoteThis series contains notebooks primarily used by Katharine Esdaile and Edmund Esdaile todocument British sculptures during trips. The notebooks often contain pencil drawings andbrief notes or transcriptions, and they vary in their degree of legibility. In additional,Notebook #38 contains a commonplace book kept by Katharine Esdaile in the late 1890sand Notebook #86 contains notes of classes in civil defense against mustard gas attacks,taken by Katharine Esdaile in April/May 1939.Thus far, no index has been found of the churches Katharine Esdaile visited, and there arealso no lists of content in volumes written by Esdaile. Some workbooks are evidently writtenby Edmund Esdaile and these do have lists of contents. But how Katharine Esdaile tracedrelevant church entries later remains unclear. From the final volumes, she clearly wasbuilding up notes on sculptors, but how she kept records or knew where to find all the notesis also unclear.Titles and notebook numbers are chiefly based on typed labels affixed to the volumes.ArrangementThe notebooks are arranged consecutively according to the notebook numbers typed onlabels affixed to each item.

Notebook #99. Approximately 1940?

Rather misleading title, as there appear to be no detailed references to Italy orIceland; rather this is another alphabetical workbook with references to numeroussculptors, sculptures, and a few churches.

Notebook #103. early 1920s

Early alphabetical list of sculptors with pencil notes (many crossed through). Notebook #104. Undated

Does not appear to contain a 'contents list', nor any material on Greek myths underletters 'G' or 'M'. The REVERSE of the book lists (in Arundell Esdaile's hand?) a series ofGreek coins (?), photographs, including some pasted into the book and others tornout. Katharine Esdaile used the book as another alphabetical sculptors directorynotebook, probably at an intermediate stage, since the notes are more detailed insome cases. It would appear that Esdaile kept a series of these notebooks withjottings at different times. They do not seem to be cross-related and presumably shemust have consulted each of them when pulling together material for articles andbooks.
