King Henry VII Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
King Henry VII NPG 290
© National Portrait Gallery, London
by Elkington & Co, cast by Domenico Brucciani, after Pietro Torrigiano
This electrotype is a copy from the upper part of the gilt bronze effigy of the king on the double tomb with his wife, Elizabeth of York, at Westminster Abbey. 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
Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
