These appear to have been commissioned originally either for Peterhouse or for Birket Foster's house, The Hill, Widey, Surrey. There were seven subjects, viz: Amor and Alcestis, Thisbe and PhilomeIa, Phyllis and Hypermnestra, Medea and Hypsiphile, Dido and Cleopatra, Ariadne and Lucretia, and finally Chaucer himself, lying asleep on the ground. The Peterhouse set is still there, in the Combination Room. Birket Foster's set has been lost sight of.
