VII.4.49 Pompeii. c.1840’s. Painting/sketch by James William Wild showing a wall in a shop, described by him as –
“the room is low and broad, ‘a to a’ are holes for joists for the ceiling. 13ft wide, side of chamber.
Photo © Victoria and Albert Museum, inventory number E.3998-1938.
Note: the drawing in the centre of the high red zoccolo would appear to be of two fish, the upper one being a cuttlefish. 
This would correspond with Fiorelli's description of a painting of a cuttlefish and a red mullet.
