LEADWORK [sect. *34 these cisterns, as the occasion of lead poisoning, in the first half of this century, and hundreds were destroyed, but a large number still remain ; about Bloomsbury quite a dozen may be seen down front areas. For the most part they were … decorated with panelling of ribs formed of squares and semicircles with strips and spots of cast ornament, flowers, fruit baskets, stags, dolphins, cherubs’ heads, and even the gods Bacchus and Ceres ; others have nothing but the fretted panel with initials and date like Fig. 63.
