Description
A stunning tribute to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, this 1897 Sherwin & Cotton photographic tile panel captures the monarch in exquisite sepia detail. Designed by George Cartlidge, a pioneer of this specialized technique, the tile reflects both artistic innovation and historical significance. The inscription, "1837 Victoria 1897, A Queenly Woman, A Womanly Queen," honors her 60-year reign. Signed by the artist on the back, it remains housed in its original giltwood frame, adding to its authenticity. A remarkable piece of Victorian-era craftsmanship, perfect for collectors of British royal memorabilia and antique ceramic art.
