Victoria and Albert Museum:
Examples of the works of Art in the Museum – South Kensington Museum – Published in 2 Volumes in 1881 – Book 1 - Plate Nos: 37 - 42
Sometime ago I posted some of the illustrations from the above book and I hoped that would be able to find them physically in the museum and photograph them. I took the third set of 15 illustrations from this book and went on the V & A website; Search the Collections. My results were based upon the following criteria:
(1) Items I did locate and photograph.
(2) Items that were in storage
(3) Items I couldn’t find anywhere
So I will be posting them, along with their locations in the museum, against the original plate and photograph from storage (where possible). The original price and any further information I might find.
One thing I didn’t count on, was that renovations would alter the interior of the building so drastically. I have found it very difficult to pin some of these locations down but in the main they have been found.
Not many of the examples shown this time were successful, as can be seen I only found 1 item.

Saturday Self Challenge; White on White
Not the easiest challenge, and after various attempts, finally on settled on these two white dinner plates. For better or worse, they were in dappled light, hence the shadow in the background.
Not many signal boxes permit the signal man to hang a plate telling the passers by his name.
Heres to Keith who is facilitating 43138 to pass safely through his section with the 1102 Inverness to Aberdeen.
Full zoom for maximum compression and cropped as much as I dare to exaggerate the exhaust plume and give Keith his time in the spotlight.
Such a delightful place with so much to photograph, I could have stayed here all week and not had a wasted trip.

Hand painted - by me, copying a genuine hand-painted Limoges original antique plate. I started with a plain green digital canvass, inscribed a circle, and used Paint to paint the copied design. I can tell you, the original was a beauty! But not affordable. So I'm painting my own,
I don't remember exactly...but this trio must have sounded great crossing Hohman Avenue in Hammond, Indiana.
