Editore: No date or place. Early nineteenth century. John Strongitharm 1 Waterloo Place London
Da: Richard M. Ford Ltd, London, Regno Unito
Strongitharm s entry on the British Museum website is the main source of information about him. In 1841 John Strongitharm is listed in the Royal Calendar among the Queen s Tradesmen , In the Department of the Lord Chamberlain , as Seal Engraver . The present item is an well-executed and carefully hand-coloured steel engraving of the royal arms (lion and unicorn), topped by a banner with LORD CHAMBERLAIN S OFFICE . Engraved in small letters beneath the image: Strongitharm, Waterloo Place . Printed on a somewhat-aged and lightly worn piece of thickish laid paper, 11.5 x 6.5. The item is clearly a proof, as it bears instructions in contemporary hand in pencil on the reverse: The words / Honi soit qui mal y pense / and / Dieu et mon droit / should be painted with letters of Gold .
