I specialise in affordable original artworks - mainly traditional watercolours and oil paintings but I also have a range of contemporary artworks including limited edition lithographic prints. I also stock a limited selection of antiques and collectables, including treen, ceramics and glass. I have now opened a shop in Wallingford (OX100BU) between Reading and Oxford, but I also trade online. My website, www.artandstuffgallery.com has a gallery section with several mini-galleries where my items are displayed, including more contemporary items not shown on LoveAntiques.

Description
Of military interest. A steel engraving of Queen Victoria distributing medals to veterans of the Crimean War in the Horse Guards Parade in London. On 18th May 1855, Queen Victoria presented 768 medals to veterans of the war, but this engraving focuses on Sir Thomas Troubridge who had lost both his feet in action. The inscription goes on to say that her Majesty "leant over the chair of the maimed veteran, and at the same time bestowed on him the honour of being her Aide-de-Camp".
This engraving was done by T. Sherrat after J. Hine. Published 1858 by the London Printing and Publishing Co., London in "The History of the war with Russia"; by Henry Tyrrell, Esq. Later coloured by hand.

Two foxing spots but otherwise excellent with vibrant colour. Very nicely presented in a Hogarth frame with cream lined mount.
