Note
|
This would appear to be so uncharacteristic of Sheringham that it may be from a marine outfitters or a Scottish design, possibly acquired from a Scots fisher lass whilst on a 'great boat' voyage to Grimsby or from Great Yarmouth where they
came 'in the season'. It is a pattern like no other I have seen.
