Mother Hubbard's Windsor Chair with her Dog about to sip Ale 1819

Readers will know by now that I will stop at nothing in my fervent researches to bring them more Windsor chairs. So you will be delighted at my latest discovery, stumbled across whilst doing some other research, which is Mother Hubbard's dog's Windsor chair. Could be West Country from the look of that continuous arm bow and those front leg turnings. As the
drawings are so splendid, I have included all the pages. They are utterly charming. The V&A thinks the illustrations may be by Robert Branston (1778-1827).
