On Nov 29 2010, CliveALincoln said:
Reviewed on Dec 3 2008 - A most interesting book on the processes involved in the creation of porcelain sculptures and the life of this most remarkable human being. Once reading of this beautifully printed book commences one is inclined to want to read it cover to cover if time permits. It tells of the extraordinary life and tribulations of Edward Marshall Boehm, a unique artisan, who became renowned in his short lifetime. Other great manufacturers of porcelain were supported, financed and patronised by the wealthy. Boehm, together with the able help and support of his wife Helen, managed to create his studios without such assistance. Anybody reading this book will most likely want to own at least one of Boehm's masterpieces and could easily become an avid collector. The book itself is a most useful reference for any serious collector of Boehm porcelain. Reese Palley, the author, has rightly ranked Boehm with the likes of Faberge and Tiffany, as somebody who imposed his perfectionism into his life like creations. Clive A Lincoln
