Victorian 18ct Gold & Blue Enamel Royal Souvenir Book Locket

137X
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A rare survival of a Royal souvenir in the shape of a book that hinges open to reveal coloured photographs in an opening out hinged section of Victoria and four of her children. It is all 18ct gold with Royal blue enamel on the front and engraved decoration on the reverse. I an only assume that it may have been a limited edition that was given out to loyal courtiers as I have never seen anything like it.
