It’s loud, isn’t it. I hope it tasted as good as the poster suggests…

mm – thanks for that, it’s much appreciated. Wierdly, if you put ‘Padden’ into the NRM search engine, nothing comes up at all, so you can’t cross-check it.

I’ve been told that the errors on the NMSI database come from Science and Society cataloging of the images, so the curators aren’t to blame. But there are quite a few odd attributions in there.

This Dovercourt poster is by Septimus Scott! There is another Dovercourt poster at NMSI with the same descriptive text which could be a Padden, but as you say most likely Percy, not Daphne as stated.
There are a number of errors like this in the NMSI/SSPL archive.
