About the Item

The Jungle Folk Design Plate #3, 1910 Hand painted, Limoges porcelain plates 1.16 х 10.7 in Plate signed, under glaze in blue,"DESIGNED & COPYRIGHTED/by/MARY BACON JONES/Wm GUERIN & CO/FRANCE/LIMOGES" under glaze in green"LIMOGES/W.G./CO/FRAMCE According to the family member only 5 sets were made. Mary Bacon Jones, the designer of what were called "The Jungle Folk Design Plates," was born August 13, 1879, in Fort Shaw, Montana. A painter, craftsworker, printmaker and teacher, she never married, studying and working primarily in Boston, New York City and Provincetown, MA. She died in Nice, France, in 1924. I have one of at least five known sets of the 12 final Limoges plates, as well as several smaller test sample pottery plates created earlier, her copyrights (including a French copyright), and other personal photographs and correspondence. Three other sets remain in the possession of our extended family. She designed the first six plates prior to May 31, 1903, when she applied to the Library of Congress Copyright Office for copyrights for the first six plates, "Design for Set of Kipling Plates for a Child." On May 6, 1910, after the new U.S. copyright laws became effective July 1, 1909, she applied for and received copyrights for all 12 designs. The final plates were fabricated in 1910 by Wm. Guerin & Cie. of Limoges, France, later known as Guerin & Co., and Guerin Pouyat Elite before the factory closed in 1933. Mr. Kipling was aware of Mary Bacon Jones's designs for the plates. In November 1909, with the support of Mr. Kipling's New York publisher (who felt "the sale of the plates would have a beneficial effect upon the circulation of the Jungle Books") she appealed to Mr. Kipling's literary agent in London, Mr. A.P. Watt, for Mr. Kipling's permission to call the plates 'Kipling Plates Illustrating the Jungle Books' [to be placed on the back of the plates]." However, Mr. Kipling replied through his agent that although he had "no objection to the designing, colouring and production of the set of plates to which you refer....He [Mr. Kipling] cannot allow any mark to be made thereon connecting the set of plates with him or with 'The Jungle Book.'"
