Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Eleanor of Castile NPG 345

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Elkington & Co, cast by Domenico Brucciani, after William Torel

This electrotype is a copy from the upper part of the gilt bronze tomb effigy in Westminster Abbey, commissioned by her husband, King Edward I. It is one of a series of electrotype reproductions of tomb effigies made for the National Portrait Gallery by Elkington & Co in the 1870s. An electrotype sculpture of this type is made by electro-deposition of copper onto a mould or cast of an object. The electrotype could then be patinated like bronze.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
