Charles Whiting Cameos
1848, Charles Whiting Arts Journal composite essay, four designs, the first being an embossed Queen Victoria cameo and PAID in rose oval, below two Royal Cypher designs bordered by fancy engine-turned background and the text "Principle Suggested / Beaufort House", at bottom an ornately-designed "VR" further bordered by intricate scrollwork, the four surrounded by detailed embossing, on reverse a green and red design with "PRINTED BY / CHARLES WHITING / BEAUFORT HOUSE / STRAND, LONDON / FOR PROTECTION AGAINST / FORGERY", approximately 8.5" x 11", from the 1848 Arts Journal, a few trivial marks at corners likely from prior mounting, not detracting from the piece's dramatic visual appeal.
