Part of ZBA4848. A wooden oval frame (possibly pearwood) with a metal ring at the top for hanging. It originally contained a silhouette portrait of a gentleman (see ZBA4848) and a printed trade label reading ‘Profiles in Miniature by Mrs Beetham, No. 27, Fleet Street, 1785’ (see ZBA4848.1). Isabella Beetham (née Robinson) was a leading producer of silhouettes in late eighteenth-century London. She frequently used simple wooden frames for her silhouettes, often made from pearwood. The trade label associated with this frame features the date ‘1785’, which refers to the date at which Beetham moved to No. 27 Fleet Street and does not necessarily indicate the date of the portrait. Beetham used this trade label throughout the late 1780s and early 1790s. The silhouette mounted in this frame is believed to represent the naval officer George Fowke.
