Pease family. Pease family collection of sketchbooks and exercise books, 1814-1909.

Title: Pease family collection of sketchbooks and exercise books, 1814-1909.

The collection comprises sketchbooks, watercolors, photographs, and school exercise books. It sheds light on the changing customs of the Pease family, as they rose to prominence in industry and politics over the 19th century, on different practices and standards of education for boys and girls during this time, and on the lifestyle of prosperous Victorian families, which included travel and grand homes in multiple locations. Items in the collection were mostly created by children and women of various generations and document their education, travel, and domestic life. The collection documents aspects of women's leisure life in the 19th century, especially their amateur artistic practice. Of particular interest is an album of drawings and watercolors by Lady Mary W. Pease concerning the family's Hutton Hall estate (Oversize 2). Hutton Hall was designed for Joseph Whitwell Pease in 1868 by architect Alfred Waterhouse, who is perhaps best known for his work in designing the Natural History Museum in London. The drawings in the Hutton Hall album demonstrate an intimate knowledge of the family home, record the style of décor that the Peases used, document family outings close by and further away (especially to Scotland), and show two other Pease properties. It includes botanical studies, designs for wallpaper patterns, and still lifes of domestic items like cooking pots and utensils.
