I have two engraved copper moulds by Samuel Henning dated 1827, depicting the scenes 'The Canterbury Pilgrimage' and 'Cavalcade proceeding to the tournament' 1199 from Ivanoe by Sir XXXXX XXXXX. One mould features a scene painted by Thomas Stothard and includes the names M. Colnagh of Cockspur Street and E. C. Moon of Threadneedle Street, London. The other mould has the head of Scott printed vertically at the top/centre and names of characters like WAMBA, CEDRIC, ROWENA, ATHELSTANE, HANNAH, REBECCA, ISAAC, ROBIN HOOD, BOIS GUILBERT, IVANHOE, RICHARD COEUR DE LION in a narrow horizontal groove below the scene. The rectangular title block below this has the title 'CAVALCADE PROCEEDING TO THE TOURNAMENT 1199' and in small print 'HENNING PINXIT ???'. What can you tell me about these moulds?
