Anna Maria Elizabeth Cust

Born in 1870, she was the daughter of Robert Needham Cust and later became Anna Maria Elizabeth Leaf after her marriage to Henry Leaf. Catalog records and reference entries connect her with historical writing on medieval art rather than fiction.

Her best-known book is The Ivory Workers of the Middle Ages, first published in 1902. The work focuses on the history of medieval ivories and helped preserve interest in a specialized area of art history for later readers.

Reliable pages available for this search confirm her dates and her authorship, but I could not verify many further personal details from strong biographical sources. I also couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from accessible page images, so no profile image is included here.
