Dealer Notes

A handsome tribute to William Henry Longmaid and his wife Margaret (née Brown), Quaker schoolteachers who ran the College for ten years before her health took them to Southport and a smaller establishment in 1880. His educational specialism was science, but in later life he established a reputation as an artist.
Excepting Miss Mulley, who heads the group, the album is arranged alphabetically (by maiden name): the names Braithwaite, Crosfield, Pecover, Richardson and Sim recur. Amongst the ex-pupils is Rachel Juliet Fox (née Fowler), the first president of the Panacea Society - an organisation founded after the Great War and based on the teachings of Joanna Southcott.
