IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 225491 accession number: P.14880-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Wednesday 5 September 2018 updated: Monday 7 January 2019 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Etching on paper. Full-length portrait of an old woman seen in three-quarter profile to the right, who carries a pail in her right hand and wears a large, flat, wide-brimmed 'hat' on her head over a mob cap. Her sleeves are rolled up and there is a tear in her apron. Scratched onto the plate at lower left: 'Topham fecit'. An inscription in pen an ink below the platemark in the lower margin: 'A Bedmaker at Cambridge. 1770'. Dorothy George describes this print as 6354 in her Addenda to Vol. 5 as '[Cream-Woman of Trin. Coll. Cambr.]', a title which is written onto the BM impression in an old hand. The title assigned to the BM print would seem to be a more likely description of the woman's occupation. title: print LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: unknown STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/225491 TECHNIQUES ---------- drypoint TECHNIQUES ---------- etching CATEGORIES ------ category: print DATING ------ creation date: 1770 - 1771 creation date earliest: 1770 creation date latest: 1771 culture: 18th Century CREATORS -------- maker: Topham, Edward
