| Description | Pencil sketch of a river, with a large [house?] on the right bank and a sign at left. A bridge spans the banks in the background and a man holds a stick into the river at right. The caption appears at lower right of the image in pencil in Shepard's handwriting. To the left of the image is the following annotation, with an arrow pointing to the sign: [boxed] "SIR HUG MYDDLETON'S HEAD" "Public house with tea garden + skittle ground here". Above and to the left of the main image is a rough sketch of the head of a man in Elizabethan dress, probably Sir Hugh Myddleton [a goldsmith who financed the New River, a waterway that carries water from Ware, Hertfordshire, to Stoke Newington, London, mostly to supply the capital with drinking water]. There is a tick mark in the very top right corner. |
