Charles Whiting Cameos
Earl Grey, printed by Charles Whiting of Savoy House, London, to illustrate the capabilities of the Congreve printing process, embossed portrait, lilac and blue, approximately 155mm x 185mm, visually striking and attractive; while such portraits were made available upon the publishing of Kendall & Co's "Scrapbook of Royal Cameo Embossed Heads", this example, which shows no signs of damage from removal on reverse, is likely of promotional origin.

Subject to 5% tax on Hammer Price in addition to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.
