Notes

Thermoplastic case B 1-138 (VVR)

"Amazon on horseback being attacked by a tiger"
By John Smith of Birmingham, without labels or patent mark.
Based on the sculpture by Adolphe Kiss.

The case is missing a rail and the borders are chipped.
The photo is upside down in the case, probably because of the missing rail.

Backdrop of flowery wallpaper and a bouquet of flowers on the table.
