- Curator's comments
- Companion to 'The Meeting of the Sisters at Reculver'; apparently connected to George Keate's 'Sketches from Nature, Taken and Coloured, in a Journey to Margate' (1779), and possibly larger versions of illustrations included in the book, published separately.
There is no clear connection between St Julian Hospitaller and La Trappe, but the Saint is known through legend and often confused with others of the same name.
