Above are two images I found amongst the papers of the Haslemere Collection. The first is an etching, but I am unable to read the signature; the second is an older print. This latter print is entitles MUNSTER CATHERDRALE, but doesn't compare to any images I can find. If anyone can identify either of these locations I would be glad to hear.
Saints for 30th November
