The pictures shown here come from the Christchurch Mansion Museum in Ipswich.
The original order of these wooden panels is unknown, but there are 60 pictures shown.
Cullum only illustrated the 41 of these that are indicated by an explanation on the museum explanatory notes.
At Hawstead they lined the walls of a 7 foot square closet.
When removed to Hardwick House they lined a long corridor.
The arrangement shown here is for the author's convenience.
