About this work

Description

The lower part shows a derelict rural thatched cottage on which a poster has been pasted advertising "Hungerford, on Friday next, John Parry, entertainment lights shadows or social life!": possibly to be interpreted as a building in Hungerford, Berkshire, on which Parry had seen an advertisement for his own performance in 1849?
