Crossing Sweeper

Hope its ok to post this here, probably a year ago I asked if anyone knew of three Victorian ? pictures entitled " The Crossing Sweeper", " The Flower Seller" and " The Sweethearts " I had since found a set of them hanging in the pub at Blist's Hill open air museum at Easter 2006. I remember them from years ago and got a really good response with some beautiful pictures and unfortunately did not save. I did take three photographs at Blist's Hill and they were not very good. This is one of them and I had to include what I thought was a lovely modern version. Just thought i will add a 3 rd. If anyone can get three good photographs of the oblong Victorian ? set could they post them on please View attachment 10614View attachment 10615
 
GER22VAN, It seems there are many variations on this theme, I fear you will have much trouble in replacing your copies.
