EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Seymour Damer, a remarkable figure of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is depicted in this print holding her trusted mallet. Born in 1749, Damer was an accomplished English sculptor, renowned for her innovative and expressive works. Her personal life, however, was far from ordinary. Her husband, Sir Charles Damer, was a profligate and, in a tragic turn of events, took his own life in 1785. Despite the challenges she faced, Damer's artistic prowess continued to flourish. She was a close friend and confidante of some of the most influential figures of her time, including Napoleon Bonaparte, Horatio Nelson, and Horace Walpole. Her association with these historical luminaries added an intriguing layer to her already fascinating life. Rumors swirled that Damer was aided in her sculpting by supernatural forces, fueling the intrigue surrounding her work. These whispers of ghostly assistance only added to her mystique and captivated the public. In this image, Damer's intense focus and determination are evident as she holds her mallet, ready to shape her next masterpiece. Born in 1749 and passing in 1828, Anne Seymour Damer left an indelible mark on the art world, her legacy a testament to her resilience, talent, and the enduring allure of the unknown.
