[Laurence Whistler, engraver etc] Five black and white photographs numbered L.W. 30 to L.W.34 on reverse of a glass goblet ornately etched by Whistler for Mark Bonham Carter.

Dimensions six inches by eight. Four of the photographs very good, the other good, but with staining in one corner (capable of professional cleaning). Good, clear, professional images against a black background. The goblet was commissioned by Bonham Carter from Whistler as a wedding present to the present queen of England on her marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh. The body is etched with intricate images and the words 'Elizabeth | so be it ever, joy and peace. | And mutual love give you increase, | That your posterity may grow | In fame, as long as seas do flow. | The words of Thomas Campion, on the Marriage of PRINCESS ELIZABETH 1613'. On the base: 'The Twentieth of November 1947 | from Mark Bonham Carter'. The latter's address onj the front of the envelope partly obscures previous addressees, including Laurence Whistler himself. Perhaps Whistler recycled. See Image
