Note
The figure of St Oswald was apparently model for that of emperor Otho I, on the ceiling. Pencil, fully-achieved drawings. Endorsed on (former ref.) MPSC7.85 is 'cartoons, figures'. A letter, 8 June, 1866, Clayton & Bell to the Senior Bursar, mentions that 'we have sent four cartoons of figures drawn to scale that may invite criticism'. These were originally rolled, but were hung on acid-free manila and faced with melinex June 1986.
