Lovely engraving called “Blind Bayard worn with work and years shall roll the unwieldy stone from morn to eve” of a horse powered cider mill and press in poundhouse by J. Wathen, who was a topographic draughtsman and artist based in Hereford, 1791. The engraving itself was created by J. Whessell, as indicated by "fecit”Latin for ‘he did’. The portrait is of Wathen sadly, no portrait of Whessell survives. Credit Wellcome collection #cider #cidermill #ciderpress #engraving www.teepeecider.co.nz
