T. STEVENS		COVENTRY 1863

silk:
(approximately) 24.0cm high by 12.0cm wide

This large silk was usually not mounted on card-mounts and is far too large to be considered a bookmark. As this silk was produced in 1863, it pre-dates the Stevengraph pictures (which were first introduced in 1879) and portraits by some 13 years.

The title " Albert and His Daughters " does not actually appear on the silk. It is however the title used by Stevens in his advertisements.

It is a companion to The Queen and Her Sons.
