Godden does not record this bookmark Other comments:  image of top turn-over of this bookmark This bookmark has the woven date of 1862, despite having both Victoria and Albert's name. Albert of course died in 1861! Queen Victoria succeeded to the throne in 1837, and so her 25th Anniversary would have been 1862. It is probable therefore that this bookmark was designed in anticipation of that Anniversary, but possibly never issued. If that were the case, this must be a very rare bookmark. This same bookmark is also shown above with an extended white area above the portraits, and for comparison purposes, this has been resized to the same width as the shorter version. That bookmark was hence longer, at 26.0cm long by 4.4cm wide:- |
