Hello, friends.
My name is David, and I work at the Denver Botanic Gardens in the U.S. Next fall, we are installing an art nouveau exhibit in our galleries, and I'm looking for any details any of you may have about William Devenport, who was a silversmith. From what I could find in independent research, Devenport and Son operated on Northwood Street in the early twentieth century.
However, I can't find anything about his birth/death years, which are essential for our organization when following our in-house standards and procedures for label text. If anybody can find additional information about his life, I would be greatly appreciated. For example, our label for some of his silver works would look something like this: Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), or William Devenport (18??-19??).
Any other information would also be wonderful. Thank you all for your time looking into this.
