Plate XXX.
The Pantheon.
Mounted fragments rescued from the destruction of the dining-room paper which was on the walls of the King's Tavern or "Waffle Tavern" at Vernon (now Rockville), Connecticut, when Lafayette was entertained there in 1825. All the characters of Roman mythology were pictured in woodland scenes printed in gray and black, on small squares of paper carefully matched. Below these ran a band bearing the names of the characters represented; and below this, a grassy green dado dotted with marine pictures. [(p.69)]
Plate XXXI.
Canterbury Bells.
Paper from Howe's Tavern, at Sudbury, Massachusetts,—the "Wayside Inn" of Longfellow's Tales. The fragment is in poor condition but possesses historic interest, having decorated the room in which Lafayette passed the night on his trip through America. [(p.67)]
