A Battersea enamel oval plaque c.1761

A Battersea enamel oval plaque c.1761, printed in manganese with a profile portrait of King George III looking to the left, mounted in an ebonised wood frame, the plaque 8.5cm.

This print is copied from Jeremiah Meyer's portrait of the King, which was copied in turn by several engravers. There are subtle differences with a Birmingham snuff box bearing the same portrait, and to that printed on Worcester porcelain and by Sadler at Liverpool.
