History: Several of the items duplicate each other in the scenes they depict. Some are similar in size, style and coloring and may belong to a set or series of watercolors but are grouped here by subject matter. FSL has another watercolor of Falstaff by Wright, which is similar to some of the watercolors noted here, framed and hanging in the Registrar's Office (Falstaff sleeping).
