Footnotes
John Haslem was apprenticed to his uncle James Thomason, later manager of the Derby China Works, thereafter working for thirteen years as a porcelain painter specialising in flowers and figures. Encouraged by the Duke of Sussex he moved to London to study under Edward Thomas Parris. He continued to paint on porcelain but diversified to paint in enamel on metal and in watercolour on paper, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1836 to 1865. In the 1840s received extensive patronage from Queen Victoria - at the Great Exhibition of 1851 he exhibited a number of miniatures he had painted for the Queen and Prince Albert. For examples of his work in the Royal Collection see Remington op. cit., nos 509–539.
