Plate LI represents one of the fullones at work upon his cloth, which he is busily scrubbing with some sort of brush.

Below, an elderly person examines a piece of stuff, which has been either washed or dyed by a youth who has brought it for approbation. Behind, or on the right, is seen another man of the establishment, who brings a sort of frame, such as is commonly used in warm baths at the present time, with a pot or pan of hot coals to place under it, on which to spread garments or cloth to be dried. The owl is, probably, the picture of some favourite bird which really existed in the family.

Plate LII exhibits four persons employed in the fullonica, placed in four niches, and each at work in his tub, washing the linen or cloths, or preparing them for dyeing, if not treading them into the colouring-liquid till they shall be saturated. Three are boys, probably under the superintendence of the person of larger stature. These pictures were thought so curious that they were carried to the museum at Naples not long after these copies were made.

It appears that the last operation in the fullonica was that of pressing. Accordingly upon the wall, near the fountain, is represented a press consisting of two upright timbers, united by another below and a fourth above. From the upper horizontal beam two perpendicular screws are made to act upon a thick board laid upon several pieces of cloth below. The screws are turned by horizontal pins or levers, which are run through them. Even this is ornamented above with three little festoons of drapery.
