The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady

Product Information

Crowds of birds came to be fed this morning. There were great battles among the tits over the cocoa-nut, and once a robin got right into it and refused to let the Tits approach, until he had had all he wanted. I don't think the robins really care for cocoa-nut; but they don't like to see the tits enjoying anything, without claiming a share. Edith was born in 1871; she and her two younger sisters, who were also very talented, studied at the prestigious Birmingham School of Art, and were encouraged to follow their interests as much as was possible. For Edith, the choice to study the natural world in her art specialisation was ‘obvious’. The Animal's Friend (four volumes, 1907–1910, the magazine of the National Council for Animals' Welfare)

Her sister Evelyn was supposedly an even more talented artist. Edith preferred illustrating animals. I would enjoy seeing their training and work in context with other people during the day. Beatrix Potter was a contemporary, but no contemporary comparison is provided. I was absolutely charmed by Edith Holden’s The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, which were compiled throughout 1906 and not published until 1977. I really wanted to know more about our charming illustrator. I found a biography, The Edwardian Lady: The Story of Edith Holden by Ina Taylor, and was able to request a revised edition, which was dug out from my local library’s country store.

During the 1906–09 school years, Edith Holden taught at the Solihull School for Girls. She fashioned her Nature Notes for 1906 as a model for her students' work. Then, like her younger sisters, Holden became an illustrator. She illustrated four volumes, 1907–10, of The Animal's Friend, a magazine of the National Council for Animals' Welfare, and a number of children's books, including The Three Goats Gruff. Her paintings were often exhibited from 1890–1907 by the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, and by the Royal Academy of Arts in 1907 and 1917. Interesting intro to the late 1800s/early 1900s, the location, and the Holden family. Well-illustrated.
