445. Charles Robert Ricketts: An Announcement

A few years ago we published a book about the true history of Ricketts's mother: Charles Ricketts's Mysterious Mother. (There are only a few copies left for sale).

C.R. Ricketts, detail of painting (undated)

Now we are working on a companion piece: a book about Ricketts's father, the sea painter Charles Robert Ricketts (1838-1883). Details will follow later.

Charles Ricketts (1866-1931), artist, book designer, collector, art critic, set and costume designer & Charles Shannon (1863-1937), lithographer, painter and art collector : a weekly blog written by Paul van Capelleveen
