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.
Wooden frame with moulded detail to front. Contains a card mount branded Butcher's Selected Pictures', piece of card and backing board. Glazed. Mirror plate attached to top of frame.
