Specialist note


For a discussion of these very tiles, see Soros, op.cit., which notes that only six Minton tiles that may be by Godwin have surfaced. His diary entry for 10 March 1881 notes that he was 'with Minton, Hollins & Co. re: tile designs'. It is known that he submitted The Four Seasons amongst his designs (page 306).
