About this item
Page from the albums of Colwall Court, Bexhill, captioned 'Witches Brew' and dated 31 October 1952. A pen and crayon drawing shows four figures in pointed hats and black cloaks stooping over a cauldron set on a red fire. One tips in a stream of dark grains from a packet marked weed killer, one stirs while emptying a jar of jam, one pours from a tin at the right. Around them on the floor are a bottle labelled arsenic, a bottle of whisky, a tin of paint, a bottle of castor oil, an Oxo cube and a tin of polish. A spider hangs on a thread at the top left. The joke turns on the school's cookery syllabus.
