Pounds 79,000 cathedral font drawing found in barrow

Evening Standard (London) , Dec 15, 2005 by TOM TEODORCZUK

A LANDMARK 17th-century drawing is to be displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum after being found in a barrow in Portobello Road.

The drawing of the baptismal font at Canterbury Cathedral was discovered by chance by an arts specialist in February 2002.

The VA acquired it from a dealer for Pounds 79,000 and it will go on display in the South Kensington museum next year.

The finder, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "It was lying on a barrow and it was spitting with rain, which is not good for vellum [the material the drawing was created on]".

John Harris, Curator Emeritus of the Royal Institute of British Architects` Drawing Collection, described it as "the most important English Renaissance architectural drawing to have been discovered in recent years".

It was created in about 1638-39 by sculptor and mason John Christmas, probably for the Dean and Chapter.

The work is signed by the font`s donor, John Warner, Dean of Lichfield. It is thought Warner commissioned the font to impress the Dean and Chapter. The font was completed in 1639 but was damaged after the Civil War by Puritans who deemed statues a corrupting influence.

The drawing is the latest to be found in bizarre circumstances.

An unfinished Old Master by Titian, found in a Bayswater garage in 1946, was expected to fetch Pounds 5 million when it was auctioned by Christie`s last week but it failed to find a buyer.
