| biography:
| Pre-Raphaelite ceramic artist and novelist, born in London, UK, the son of Augustus De Morgan. He studied art at the Academy Schools, began as a designer of tiles and stained glass, but became interested in pottery, and in 1871 established a kiln in Chelsea. In 1905 he abandoned pottery and at the age of 65 began writing novels in a whimsical Dickensian manner, such as Joseph Vance (1906) and Somehow Good (1908). |
