Summary
Pencil and water-colour on paper, The Village of Ford by Louisa Anne Stuart, Marchioness of Waterford (Paris 1818 – Ford 1891). On the left the School in pencil, with a wash of stone coloured water-colour over it. On the nearest corner a few figures in outline. On the right is a procession of figures in brown outline, then a group in purple outline, who are preceded by a small red banner. Lastly come people bearing huge banners, the front one is orange with red writing, saying God Bless. In the background are blue hills. Above these blue and white sky. On the verso are two small pencil sketches - one of Ford Schools and procession, the other apparently of woods, possibly a study for second sketch.
