<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 192167, member: 33&quot;]Coming back to this thread... After going through many references to E. M. Hester with no further information, I just found a reference referring to<b> Miss </b>E. M. Hester as an engraver of mezzotints. This is from a publication called <i>The Builder</i>, from 1906. She is mentioned near the bottom of the far right column on this page:</p><p><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Mj9OAAAAYAAJ&amp;pg=PA461&amp;lpg=PA461&amp;dq=%22e.+m.+hester%22+engraver&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=TwtBl7OFYO&amp;sig=C37T4Ry2IOqplO_1EdxtbFf0EKQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwif4OK4rc_QAhVp2IMKHQb_A7E4ChDoAQg6MAc#v=onepage&amp;q=%22e.%20m.%20hester%22%20engraver&amp;f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Mj9OAAAAYAAJ&amp;pg=PA461&amp;lpg=PA461&amp;dq=%22e.+m.+hester%22+engraver&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=TwtBl7OFYO&amp;sig=C37T4Ry2IOqplO_1EdxtbFf0EKQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwif4OK4rc_QAhVp2IMKHQb_A7E4ChDoAQg6MAc#v=onepage&amp;q=%22e.%20m.%20hester%22%20engraver&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=Mj9OAAAAYAAJ&amp;pg=PA461&amp;lpg=PA461&amp;dq=&quot;e.+m.+hester&quot;+engraver&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=TwtBl7OFYO&amp;sig=C37T4Ry2IOqplO_1EdxtbFf0EKQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwif4OK4rc_QAhVp2IMKHQb_A7E4ChDoAQg6MAc#v=onepage&amp;q=&quot;e. m. hester&quot; engraver&amp;f=false</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I am investigating this is the suggestion that it might be Edward Gilbert Hester. Besides the fact that his middle initial was &quot;G&quot; instead of &quot;M&quot; I am finding that most of the dated pieces by E. M. Hester include dates after 1903, which was when Edward Gilbert Hester died. (Wild thought: I wonder whether E. M. Hester was related to Edward Gilbert Hester?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
