The case is made of a blue coloured velvet with a flower design on the front. Inside is a printed triangle with a rose design, and two STEVENS printed cards, each having the printed " T.S. " initials, which define them as being of Thomas Stevens manufacture.
Each card also has a printed number. At one time it was assumed these numbers - 683 on those above - defined the card design. However, as can be seen in the images above, these numbers are repeated on different designs. The relevance of the number is hence unknown (unless perhaps it is a short hand for the artist/designer, rather than the design, for such as royalty payments). image of front of plush case, once folded over, showing front decoration and silk rope used to hold it closed:- |
