![]() ![]() ![]() Kate Harris was employed by the London studio of William Hutton & Sons to produce artistic silver from 1899 to c 1905. The silver covers are also in excellent condition with scratches commensurate with their age. The silver covers are simply tacked to the books’ leather bindings along the spine and then the silver wrapped around the covers’ edges.Ĭondition of both prayer books is excellent – I would say barely ever used. I have never seen covers like these by Harris and they are absolutely charming. One carries a familiar “Dutch maid” motif (1904) by Harris, the other (1903) carries a rarely seen more dynamic sculptural art nouveau image of a woman in profile. One is marked for William Hutton Birmingham 1903, the other William Hutton Birmingham 1904. For sale, together or separately, are these prayer books, each with a hallmarked silver cover designed by Kate Harris. ![]()
