Those who watch that popular
television series "The Last of the Summer Wine" may
have noticed that "Old Cleggie"; Norman Clegg, has had two marquetry
pictures
hanging on his living room wall for quite a long while now.
Those two pictures have been hanging there
for at least the last ten years - if not
longer. We have checked through loads of old catalogues and plans and
designs
for marquetry kits to see if we can identify the pictures, but, so far, we
have
been unable to find copies or any sort of version of those pictures.
We have had many discussions as to the
origins of the pictures, but no one has
been able to come up with an answer. Our Alf Murtell thinks they are most
probably
kit pictures, but, as we said, they do not seem to appear in the old
catalogues.
So, once again, we have come up against the proverbial 'Brick Wall'.
One of our group has made their own
versions of the pictures, hopefully these are
reasonably accurate, but as the cameras never actually focused on them, it
is
difficult to be 100% correct. However, we display them here to see if
anyone can
recognise them. If you do recognise them, could you set our minds at rest
and
let us know their titles and original origins, or anything else about
them. Thanks.
