This treasury of ornamental art includes lithographs by Francis Bedford (1824-1913), copied from his own photographs taken at the museum at Marlborough House in 1853. The items featured include a silver chalice in the style of the fifteenth century designed by Pugin and an Indian embroidered satin apron. Bedford began working as a lithographer in the 1840s, before he took up photography. From about 1850, he was employed by Day & Son, 'lithographers to the Queen', and worked on some of the most important illustrated art books of the nineteenth century.
