- Literature: Reference: Israel. Antique Garden Ornament, Two Centuries of American Taste, p. 82, fig. 6.7
- Notes: Note: The pattern for these high-style benches appears in simultaneous production in 1842 by James Yates (Rotherham, England) and Israel P.

A bench from the Morris foundry bearing the 1842 date which is installed in the garden at Richmond Plantation (Natchez, Mississippi), is identical to those offered here.
