The Cave at Cheddar. 1834.
From Nature & on Stone by W. Muller. Printed by C. Hullmandel.
Lithograph. Sheet 290 x 240mm (11½ x 9½").
A woman sitting in the mouth of the cave, washing clothes in a tub, watched by a young girl. To the right is a bed, a carved chest and other household possessions, suggesting they were living in the cave. The view is considered to be of Gough's Old Cave which in 1834 was occupied by Suckey Weeks, aged 63, and her son Jack, then aged 26. The legend surrounding Suckey Weeks suggests that she was thrown out of her home having disgraced herself by marrying beneath her station. She is said to have fled to Cheddar and lived in the cave where her child was born.

[A Ceiling design.]
C.P.R [con real privilegio].
[French, n.d., c.1680.]
Rare engraving, irregular plate, at most 320 x 630mm (12½ x 24¾"). Bottom corners of plate snipped, outside image area. Centre fold. Evidence of damage to the printing plate, with re-engraving.
Possibly a ceiling design with a classical scene, rather than a fan. A naked woman reclines in a bower, surrounded by animals and birds including a lion, boar, lobster and ostrich. Above three cherubs hold aloft a garland of flowers; to the left is a rider carring a spear; to the right are windheads. The re-engraving is simpler: no attempt has been made to reintroduce a trumpeter, leaving a disembodied horn.
