The Gloucester Old Bank was established in 1716, making it one of the earliest private banks in England. In 1802 it was inherited by James (Jemmy) Wood (1756 - 1836), shown here standing in the doorway. He was famed as a miser and even had a toby jug modelled on him. He was said to walk around the docks collecting dropped coal in his pockets, and once travelled back to Gloucester from Tewkesbury in the back of a passing hearse, laid out in the space usually reserved for the body. After his death, the Gloucester Old Bank was absorbed by the County of Gloucestershire Banking Company in 1838, which is turn was taken over by Lloyds Bank in 1897. Notice the publisher Thomas Jew's premises are immediately adjacent, to left. By George Rowe, artist and lithographer (1796 - 1864).

Ornamental rococo frame surrounding a scene representing Artemis/Diana sitting on clouds with, behind her, a monumental doorway and hunters in a landscape.

Often pictures would be set into the boiseries, the carving framing the picture rather like a conventional frame.

Jean de Jullienne (1686 - 1766) was a Parisian collector and patron of the arts who owned some 450 drawings by Watteau, and had them engraved.
