1961 (approx 210 x 255mm). Markup lines on front, some original white touch-up pen marks (to define witch’s hat and shoulder). Very slightly crinkled to right hand side else VG.
 
Original American press photograph dated October 17th 1961. After giving up The Witches Mill to Gardner, Williamson moved his collection first to Windsor for a short time before setting up shop in Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds. This photograph is from that period. Newspaper clippings affixed to reverse reads:
 
 “On display at England’s unusual museum of witchcraft is this wax model of Mary Butler, a Lancashire “witch” who died in 1928. Below that “LONDON (NANA) - From the outside it looks to be a quaint cotswold cottage that has been modernized and turned into a shop of some sort. The tiny English village of Burton-on-the-Water is a favorite tourist center and has many places where local souvenirs may be bought.
But, although this particular building is full of strange objects, it is no souvenir store. Instead, as a glance at the skulls, fetishes and bits of snake skin in the window indicate, it is a museum - Britain’s unique museum of witchcraft. And as the thousands of visitors who visit it annually will testify it contains probably the graphic history of sorcery and magic ever collected.”
