Haworth Parsonage. The Bronte family removed here in 1820 and here with brief intervals its members spent the rest of their clouded lives. Charlotte was there only four years old and her sisters were but infants, so that their minds were moulded by the almost barbaric influence of Haworth life and scenery. With such environment the wonder is that these girls even with such genius, had the heart to write at all; Recto - bottom right - signature Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
