Notes
The Anglo-American career of the Sharples family of artists exemplifies the artistic exchange between Britain and America in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. English-born James Sharples (c.1751-1811) built his career on drawing pastel portraits and became known for his portraits of George and Martha Washington and other eminent Americans. The collection includes James' second wife, Ellen Sharples' diary covering 1803-1836 and her letterbook for 1840-1845. Also includes personal and legal papers relating to two generations of the Sharples family. From Bristol Record Office and Bristol Central Library. Introduction by Dr. Diane Waggoner, Yale University (ISBN 1851170332).
