The Old Tithe Barn, Borobury, Peterborough.
Drawn & Lith.ed by Charles Moore. Day & Haghe Lith.rs to the Queen.
[n.d., c.1840.]
Tinted lithograph, scarce. Sheet 315 x 415mm (12¼ x 16¼") Some wear in margins; bit dusty.
The interior of Peterborough Abbey's tithe barn, built in the 13th century for the original abbey. In 1898 Rev. W.D. Sweeting wrote: "Until a very few years ago there was a mediaeval building at Peterborough of the greatest interest. This was the old Tithe Barn of the Abbey, situated in the Manor of Boroughbury, on the Lincoln Road. It was much the finest in the kingdom. Unhappily the ''enterprising builder'' has obtained possession of it, and it has been pulled down, the materials, all Barnack stone, having been employed in building houses. It was of good thirteenth century work, and in perfect condition. On the east side were two large porches, by which a waggon fully laden could enter the barn. The roof was supported by very massive timbers rising from the ground, the whole arrangement resembling a wooden church with aisles".
Sweeting: The Cathedral Church of Peterborough.

W. Walcot [pencil signature.]
[n.d., c.1919.]
Etching with drypoint. 130 x 200mm (5 x 8"), wide margins.
The original facade of the Swan and Edgar can still be seen, with today's building under construction behind. In 1917 the last Zeppelin raid in Britain damaged the building, with this work undertaken in 1919. To the right is the statue of Anteros (popularly known as Eros), still in its original position, before it was moved to Embankment Gardens when work started on the new tube station in 1922. William Walcott R.E (1874 - 1943) was described by Furst as 'next to Brangwyn the greatest decorative etcher this country has produced'.

Samuel Plimsoll [facsimile signature]
[Anon., c.1875]
Chromolithograph, rare; printed area approx. 205 x 190mm (8 x 7½").
Samuel Plimsoll (1824-98), politician and shipping reformer. An M.P. for Derby, Plimsoll's six-year campaign against overloaded 'coffin-ships' (over-insured and then deliberately overloaded in the hope of collecting insurance money) resulted in the 1876 Merchant Shipping Act. This introduced the 'Plimsoll Line', a load line reflecting a vessel's buoyancy. Plimsoll's name was also bestowed on the rubber-soled canvas shoes manufactured by the Liverpool Rubber Company in 1876: the company's salesman, Philip Lace, said that the shoes were water-tight as long as they were not immersed above the level of the band, and that this reminded him of the Plimsoll line.
