Title: Tropical, 1891 [Go to resource]
Description: A charming design, though in this case rather battered! On Monkey Island, at Bray, near Maidenhead, there is an eighteenth century fishing pavilion which is painted inside with similarly playful monkeys. By the nineteenth century this building had become a popular inn. Perhaps the Reading-based designer took his inspiration from a trip downriver to this popular local resort? The inclusion of some charming children, though, is a typically Victorian touch.
