Specialist note


The white dove tile is dated by W. Gaunt and M.D.E. Clayton-Stamn (loc. cit.) as circa 1872 and described as 'the right-hand tile of a double tile picture'; they illustrate a version of the tile decorated with two mice which they also date as circa 1872 and record as painted by Dr. Reginald Thompson, although the illustrated example is described as with 'black outline with greyish blue shading' (p. 53, pl. 5).
