MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Gloria]

Haha, no idea on this one.

[Big Kev]

I can

[Tizer]

Leonardo da Vinci when he ran out of technical ideas?

[Stanley]

Sorry, no right answer yet.



This is the last one of his I posted. (Damn, I think that gives the sleuths a clue!!)

[chinatyke]

I know the famous subject but not the artist!

[Stanley]

You've been peeking China! Now, come on, back to the object.
Clue think Craven Heifer but a different subject.

[Cathy]

Stab in the dark - John Constable.

[Stanley]

Sorry Love, no. Not as famous as him, most active as a book illustrator.

[Cathy]

Australian?

[Stanley]

No Love, English, 18th or 19th century.

You've thrown me now. I was thinking the subject was the Craven Heifer.

[Wendyf]

It looks like a white bull so I'm guessing at the Chillingham Bull? No idea of the artist though.

[Stanley]

Wendy has it! I am not going to insist on the artist. See THIS for a Wiki article on Thomas Bewick and look at his images. You're right Wendy and it is the Chillingham Bull. See THIS for more information.
Next one?

A quick one for the steam engine buffs. This picture shows one of the Bancroft pistons complete with Stanley's brewing up cup.
What is the name of the other piston?

The other cylinder is Mary Jane.

[Stanley]

[plaques]

Well I said it was a quickie.

Should have come on last night - Bewick Lived at Cherryburn (not far from me in one diection) and the Chillingham White Cattle - or should that be Wild Cattle - are notv far in another direction ...

One of the few I could have got, I don't usually get that many of the mystery objects. But I find it very interesting.

[Stanley]

Another book illustration for you. Can anyone tell me what this is about?

[PanBiker]

Is it a depiction of that Turkish bloke George that we have as our Patron Saint?

[Wendyf]

I don't think it is Georgie because that isn't a dragon, it's a worm!

[PanBiker]

Well spotted Wendy, in which case it's the Lambton Worm.

[Stanley]

Curses! That Wendy saw straight through my cunning plan! Dead right, the Lambton Worm. (LINK)
Next for shaving!

[Stanley]

A deathly hush!
Try this one!

[Marilyn]

Looks like the “Fishermen’s Friend” character on the throat lozenge pack.
