That Mudford book from 1817 is just beautiful, just look at the binding and watermarked end papers. Plate J is definitely not the Chateau of Frischermont. It might be the nearby village which has had several names over the years (but not a chapel as far as I can tell). Plus it is at least a mile from where Picton fell. But that is great find. |
