I cannot find it, I know that I uploaded it - it is an original Allom. In the meantime ....

An omission on my part .. I have a set of Allom originals, including Penzance, Mousehole, Cape Cornwall, St Michael's Mount and Treryn. I must put that right.

I have a copy of this etching. You will notice that on the Star sign the NN's are reversed in word INN . A slight oversight by the artist at the time.

Ah yes, I can see it now, it is clearer on the Fisher print; the engraver has copied it wrongly. They worked using a mirror on a large bench
