290 THE ESSEX NATURALIST
Obituary
It is with sorrow that we record the death, on 3rd December 1960,
of Mr. T. Leonard Crow, author of the paper on "Bow Porcelain" in
this issue of the Essex Naturalist.
Mr. Crow was a member of an old and much respected West Ham
family. His uncle, William Crow, had a jeweller's business in Stratford
and was Mayor of West Ham in 1895-1896 and in 1913-1914. Mr.
Leonard Crow first worked with his uncle and later set up business in
the West Country as an antique dealer. He was a recognised authority
on ceramics and wrote several papers on the subject. In 1945 he gave
the "Crow Collection of Bow Porcelain" to the Passmore Edwards
Museum to commemorate the connection of his family with the County
Borough of West Ham.
