Changing to a Stage 1835

Tis delightful scene was painted in 1835 the signature is hard to read but it looks like ‘tome’, I doubt if it is Charles Towne because he was well known.  The scene is delightful, the husband and wife, with their two liveried servants have taken their Post Chaise to a point where they can meet the stage and as it comes round the corner, the exclamation is, ‘Quite full Sir!”  As often happened. No pre-booking.  Not sure of the route. But what a lovely piece of English countryside and life at that period.
