Currently up for auction in the latest Bonhams catalogue, some Burslem letters from John Lockwood Kipling [father of the famous Kipling]…

iii) Some eighteen letters from Kipling and other family members, including a love letter from his father to his mother, the rest dating from the early years of his career, with mention of his time at Pinder Bourne & Co. and night classes at The Potteries Art School, with a small juvenile sketchbook bearing ownership inscription “John Kipling. 1849”, c.56 pages, 4to and smaller, [sent from] Burslem and elsewhere, 1829 and later

One wonders if the sketches might be of Burslem?
