Bloomin cataloguers again! Peggy at the well is clearly set out on the plate but she transcribed it as Peggy at the wall:-( Very annoying behaviour from the denizens of the Towers.
Unusual for Mr. French this is a portrait of a lady in all her period finery standing at a well, a basket to hand and an earthenware jar on the ground for drawing the water. Peggy looks very dressed up for the chore but looks very well in her cloak and hood. It should be interesting trying to find out the who, the where and even the when????

At the suggestion of Research (and all the other work) Mary next week we will have "IMPERIAL WEEK" where we will focus on Imperial size plates from the Lawrence Collection. These are among the largest plates in the National Libraries collections and the detail is generally magnificent. We hope that you will enjoy them
