Mawe & Tatlow Museum, Mont Pellier Walk, Cheltenham
Mawe & Tatlow Museum, Mont Pellier Walk, Cheltenham
[Anon, c.1820]
Engraving, sheet 60 x 80mm (2¼ x 3¼"). Trimmed around image. Rare.
Promotional material for Cheltenham's first purpose-built geological 'museum', established by the mineralogist and traveller John Mawe (1766-1829) and his son-in-law Anthony Tatlow (1789-1828). Mawe had successfully opened a similar establishment in London, on the Strand, and decided to expand to Cheltenham, and then to Matlock Bath in his native county of Derbyshire. After the deaths of its founders, the museum was sold on and its contents auctioned off, before the building was demolished in 1843 to make way for the Montpellier Exchange.
