Description
Photograph (probably a carbon print or toned gelatine print, brownish in colour) of a painted portrait of Galileo. Mounted on green card; framed and glazed.
Gabb was an authority on the portraiture of Galileo and a collector of portraits of scientists, so although of little intrinsic worth this attractively framed photograph is an interesting personal item. Companion of 12095.
