Dealer Notes

White Watson (1760-1835), sculptor, marble-worker, and mineral-dealer. Lived at Bakewell, Derbyshire, where travellers visited his museum-shop. Here, in this rare publication, Watson here describes “Derbyshire strata, with a section across them. The section is nearly two feet long; the general broad anticlinal structure is well shown, but the vertical scale is so enormously exaggerated as to distort the natural arrangement.”—Challinor.
