• Lot Description:
  Gill, Samuel Thomas (mainly after). Adler, C. (printed by). [Melbourne Rose].
  Engraved and chromolithographed circular roseate novelty souvenir, opened approximately 260 mm (extreme diameter), with four fold lines, as issued, some old tape repairs, in a perspex mount. Hamburg, From C. Adler’s Printing Establishment, circa 1860s.
• Notes:
  A rare Gill piracy and a very attractive novelty souvenir. Folded to form a small bouquet of pink roses printed in colour, the piece opens to form a circle with twenty-eight separate miniature engraved vignettes of (mainly) Melbourne streetscapes, buildings, etc. Most of the engravings appear to derive from Victoria Illustrated and other images by Gill.
