Notes (2026):

1. An everyday scene depicted on an everyday item (I’m not sure I bought it for that reason but it does fit nicely with the overall theme/purpose of this collection).
2. The email address and website no longer work, although The Minories is still there, I’m pleased to say.
3. And here’s Michael Smee’s website, too.
