Footnotes

Provenance
E Barrington Haynes Collection
With R Wilkinson, London, 18 July 1969

Illustrated by Arthur Churchill Ltd., History in Glass (1937), pl.31, no.136, and by R Wilkinson, The Hallmarks of Antique Glass (1968), p.85, fig.97. The scene on this rummer is taken from an engraving by John Romney published in 1828, after the original painting by Sir William Allan. The distinctive polished frame, with a concave centre and narrow bevelled edges, together with the polished lettering of the title on a frosted ground are features characteristic of a group of rummers attributed to Richardson, discussed by Tim Osborne in Delomosne and Son's catalogue, Engraved Glass from North East England (2013).
