Provenance

The Alfred Leonard Fuller of Bath Collection (1870-1941)




Lamberhurst being only a small town partly in Kent and partly in Sussex, L. Gibbs probably had his place of business in the latter county, and, not to unduly favour either, used the Arms of the county town of each. Henry Oliver was a cutler and John Sawyer, was a house carpenter and joiner.
