Ferrar Family
(1544-1805)

Biographical history

The Ferrar family involved in the creation of the Ferrar Papers at Magdalene College Cambridge span from Nicholas Ferrar (1544-1620) to Martha Peckard, née Ferrar (1729-1805).

Archival history

Some of the prints accrued by the Ferrar Family were bound into an album in 1910. The Pepys Librarian at that time, Stephen Gaselee, thought (erroneously) that the prints were part of the Pepys Library collection. The album has a similar appearance to the Pepys Library albums of prints, and was presented by Professor George Nuttall (College Order Book, May 23, 1910). The album was erroneously given a Pepys Library-type shelfmark by Derek Pepys-Whiteley in c.1963 (PL 2986 Vol. III part iii) but is not associated with the Pepys Library, and is housed in the Old Library alongside the loose Ferrar Prints.

      Note

      Prints 44c, 45a, 45b, 73 and 103 are likely to be 'intruders' among the Ferrar prints, as they were published many years after John Ferrar's death in 1657.
