This dictionary and source-book brings together many contributions; whether reproduced from contemporaneous archive material or written from today’s modern standpoint. At the core of the book are biographies of the many artists and craftspeople working in Newlyn, Lamorna and Penzance, extending into St Ives and the surrounding areas.
