- Drawing of Wilberforce House, High Street, Hull, by Frederick Schultz Smith (1860-1925), 1890. View of a two storey building with a garden in front. Two gentlemen stand on the pavement in front of the house in the right foreground.

The Abolitionist and MP William Wilberforce (1759-1833) was born in the house. The building was opened as a museum in 1906. Signed and dated bottom left corner. Ink and wash on paper. In mount.
