pen, h 250mm × w 197mm More details

In designing these letters, Cameré was influenced by the initials in late medieval manuscripts. They were popular motifs in jewellery to signify the names of children and loved ones. A bracelet by the French goldsmith Lucien Falize with nearly the same initials is in the Schmuckmuseum in Pforzheim, Germany.
