Hello, John. In J.B.'s illustrations, we get a front view and an end view, the end view depicting an apparently segmented wooden rim and the front view depicting the canvas or oiled cloth covering the interior works. In your extensive research, is it revealed that both sides are covered with canvas, or are we dealing with one side being canvas-covered and the other side (potential rear-view of illustrations) made of wood or planking?
Thanks, grim
