Description

Engraved portrait, circular image, showing Beddoes in perfect profile, head and shoulders only, engraved and published after his death, after a painting by Edward Bird, RA (?now lost).

Framed and glazed. The frame dates from Gunther's time, but the extremely amateurish mounting using a poorly cut-out mat of modern coloured card suggest it has been re-used.
