Personal and Professional Connections
Act on behalf of George Abbott
1883
Raemaekers was one of Abbotts' executors (see Roscoe, 2009, p. 1)
May be connected to J. S. Raemaekers
These are probably a typing error and the same person. However there is some doubt because the work shown in Liverpool by J. S. Raemaekers is in terracotta and John Adrien Raemaekers chiefly exhibited sculptures in marble
