1870–1959
Best known for a classic study of medieval ivory carving, this early 20th-century writer helped make a specialized corner of art history approachable for general readers.

by Anna Maria Elizabeth Cust
Anna Maria Elizabeth Cust is known for The Ivory Workers of the Middle Ages, first published in 1902. The book focuses on medieval ivory carving and has remained the work most clearly associated with her in major library records.
Reliable biographical detail about her life appears to be scarce in the sources I could confirm here. Based on the available catalog and bookselling records, she is remembered chiefly as an author on medieval decorative art rather than as a widely documented public figure.
Because I could not confirm a trustworthy portrait from the pages available during this search, I have left the image field empty.
