The drawing from the recollection of W. H. D. Flack (1852-1936), is almost certainly from 'The Trader', a newspaper of the 1920s and 1930s. The artist is almost certainly Francis Lynch (d1932).

The ladies in the drawing are Elizabeth Slater and Miss Halsted of Hood House (in the dark coat). The man in the corner behind them in the tall hat is John Tattersall. The bellman was perhaps Edward Robinson rather than Edmund Parker.
