T J & J Mayer "Rural Scenery"
Posted by Tim on February 5, 2013, 12:56 pm
Does anyone have information regarding a pattern called "Rural Scenery" by T J & J Mayer? This pattern has elements similar to Joseph Clementson's "Rustic Scenery" that was registered in 1842. Included in the transferprinted maker's mark are the words "Prize Medal 1851". Does this refer to the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace that began in 1851? Also, would this be close to the time when the pattern actually came out for sale? Does anyone know of any other price winning patterns? Thanks for any information.
