Here’s a nifty little souvenir that I wouldn’t mind having. I’m sure that they were made by the dozens. I wonder how many are left. This one is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This brooch is in the form of a painter's palette with a view of Windsor Castle. It is crafted of electroplated nickel silver painted in enamel colors.
This was just the sort of thing that a visitor to Windsor could afford to purchase as a trinket. While most women would probably have not worn it, it would have served as a pretty reminder of a fun afternoon.
