Watercolour of people sat outside and on the steps of a Gypsy Traveller wagon [ caravan ].
Written in pen, "Fred Lawson, Redmire, 1920."
Additional description
" In this image children are playing, a man is working making something, there’s a fire going – bow top caravan in back of picture – looks like a camp. This is a plainer caravan than the Leyburn image, (it doesn't look painted and there is less glass) – and is probably where children would sleep. "
"You can often tell who has painted a caravan because certain painters have different styles. "
