19C Sugar Loaf & Cutters, Folk Museum, Cambridge. "My first sighting of an actual sugar loaf - 14 Jul 2001. This example
stands about 25in / 62cm high, and has the appearance of hard-packed demerara
sugar, with cracks in places. It is now wrapped in clear film to protect
it from the ravages of today's environment." - BM. [I am grateful to the Curator of the Cambridge and County Folk Museum for permission to reproduce this picture.]
