STEVENGRAPHS
Today it is assumed the Stevengraph title applies only to his woven silk pictures. As these however did not appear until May 1879, it is evident Stevens intended the title to include his silk bookmarks, silk portraits and silk postcards too.
The key dates are:-
| Bookmarks | - first Stevens bookmark registered May 1862. | ||
| Pictures | - first Stevens picture recorded in May 1879. | ||
| Portraits | - first Stevens portraits appear in early 1886. | ||
| Postcards | - first appear in July 1903 (although sold by R.T. Morgan). |
Below is a full listing of Stevens silks in each category, together with scanned images, which themselves are from a wide variety of sources and as such vary in quality.
The information contained in these listings was initially derived from Geoffrey Godden's book Stevengraphs and other Victorian silk pictures. John High, a member of the Stevengraph Collectors Association, has very kindly given me access to his un-published lists which has greatly extended our records, particular of the Alpha Series silk postcards which had not been documented before.
