Nice! Thanks for checking.
I think it's a bit better than a rough copy. It looks from here (you will be able to tell for sure) like a collage using used stamps!
Various selling sites attribute this to Reg Carter.

Ninian Comper Anne and Mary Reading. All Saints, Croughton. Pretty sure (for now) he is using the Breviary of John the Fearless. In this one he has the same underarm gap in the clothing of Mary. 📷 (detail) Rex Harris
Aidan McRae Thomson 'why Swynnerton and not some spot closer to 'home'? The most significant connection of this locality to Lichfield could be the presence nearby of Eccleshall Castle, which was then the private residence of the Bishops of Lichfield'🤔 Route to avoid motorway tolls⤵️
There is another 17th century print made by Wenceslaus Hollar of the same view but with a different statue, that of Charles II (now moved down a peg or two and replaced by a figure of Jesus). 📷 Chris Bertram Print: National Galleries of Scotland

From Cothelstone, yet another Ninian Comper George (somewhat more distant but still the same figure as medieval George at York) followed by three medieval Georges with the dragons tail wrapped round the leg (Ludlow, St Winnow, Long Sutton).
4 Georges from Ninian Comper all based on medieval George at St Martin's, York. The fourth is the one I would be in danger of confusing with Burlison & Grylls but it's a well documented Comper. The other 3 have the tail around the leg which is also medieval and is, I suspect, taken from Ludlow.
Burlison & Grylls also copied the medieval George at St Martin's, York, and started doing so well before Ninian Comper. Here are four. (Early Comper is so close to Burlison & Grylls that I find it difficult to distinguish between them, relying on records instead.)
Another of Comper's Georges that references St Martin's, York, also has the string around the wrist. The dragon's tail curling around the leg probably references another medieval George at Ludlow (there are others) but I have yet to do that one. 📷s Aidan McRae Thomson St James's, Lower Gornal
Medieval weaponry is not my subject but there's the curious string around the wrist and lance that doesn't correspond with the medieval glass, unless Comper has misinterpreted or chosen to misinterpret the cracks (they are cracks🤔). He repeats the string in some other of his Georges.
George I've bumped into another of Ninian Comper's Georges referencing the medieval stained glass at St Martin's, York. This is closer still and perhaps closer to the first if not the first. St Mary Magdalene, Gillingham, Kent 📷 @simoninsuffolk.bsky.social

The two angels with adjustments are taken from the print.

Bernard van Linge Crucifixion, 1622 Wadham College Chapel Oxford There are two crucifixion scenes in the Evangelicae historiae imagines designed by Bernardino Passeri but neither have these figures of Mary and John. The figures on the cross could be said to be based on one of them. 📷 Rex Harris

Bernard van Linge combined the two prints pretty much as I have done on the left.
We see Pilate twice. Behind, he washes his hands and, in front, presents Jesus to the crowd, 'ecce homo'.

Tobias & the Angel Ninian Comper and the Workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio
Well I obviously don't know the specific details but even the most inconsequential new findings about shakespeare are treated as breaking news. So I would say it is clearly false.
Ninian Comper Tobias and the Angel References in general design and direct quotes the painting from Verrocchio's workshop. Sculpture of St Pancreas also designed by Comper. St Pancreas West Bagborough

Some thoughts Whether true or not, it's certainly not known, otherwise the sketches would be all over the internet. Therefore, if your text is modern then it's false. If your text is very old and obscure, then does Drummond castle have any old drawings?😊
A few alterations for his wall painting at Lound. He incorporates the water motif and uses the wind flapping fabric off the left shoulder. Comper 📷 @simoninsuffolk.bsky.social St John the Baptist, Lound
This Be The Source Ninian Comper's St Christopher taken from the medieval stained glass in Ludlow. And in case we are not sure he quotes the top of the staff exactly. Comper 📷 Sic Itur Ad Astra . . . St Giles, Wimborne St Giles Medieval 📷 Aidan McRae Thomson St Laurence's, Ludlow.
But, will not the ladies be afeard of the lion? I hope it all comes together nicely for you here on in. I do like your choice of cover.
Nice. As you say, shabby chic!
Again the slight crouch with bent knees. Definitely the look Comper is going for. Ninian Comper St Helen & St Mary, Bourn.
The slight crouch with the bent knee, the wing positions! Both dangle a scroll but he also has a staff in the painting and his finger is towards Mary rather than straight up. Ivory, France, 14th century British Museum

I was thinking of using this for the double exposure but I've already used Hitchcock once. Grant and Bergman from Notorious. Photograph of my laptop hence the computer screen interference. Terrific image that he only allowed on the screen for a millisecond.
