So, you pressed a red button.
I like your style!
The page you were looking for
Is still being worked on by me (.Q.).

To help speed things along.
If you have any questions or can help

Now you have to look upon the models of

That'll teach you!

The postcard below troubles me somewhat.
Is it a real person?
Surely not!
The pose is quite stiff and unnatural
Especially the hands;
No, it's definitely a model.
The postcard clears up any confusion.
Thank goodness for that!
IT WAS GIVING ME NIGHTMARES!
Perhaps someone from Bristol Museum
Could find the model and enlighten us.

The postcard and the Colston Boy model are part of my Chattertoniana collection.
The stone statue is what remains of the Chatterton monument. It sat upon a column near the North Porch of St Mary Redcliffe. Its history and the controversy surrounding it, will be detailed within the website - in due course.
By the way, the Colston Boy is probably a fraud, a copy - is nothing sacred!
