Dear John,
Sorry this is rather late on your search for a lost watercolour. You
have probably tried all the things I am about to suggest, but here
goes, just in case.
The Society of Antiquaries have an index to material in local
historical and antiquarian periodicals which might refer to your
tracing, its arranged by county and then place.
They also have a large number of watercolours, drawing and engravings
catalogued and held in their collections.
Other major collections worth checking with are the British Library,
the RIBA, the Victoria and Albert Museum Prints and Drawings room and
the RCHME.
It might also be worth asking a couple of people working on stained
glass, eg. with Corpus Vitrearum or RCHME if they know where Strutt
deposited his drawings and papers.
I cannot think of any scheme in which a whole glazing scheme was
devoted to a Tree of Jesse, but it doesn't sound too improbable.
Most of the stuff I know about stained glass Jesse Trees is
fourteenth-century (see especially the recent Corpus Vit volume on
Lincolnshire).
Sorry not to be more precisely helpful, perhaps other list members
will have some ideas.
With Best Wishes
Miriam
