S.S. MELROSE ABBEY (applique)
unknown
(artist)
Applique portrait of the S.S. MELROSE ABBEY. Sewn in wool etc. on silk, with sails sewn on. Framed and glazed. The picture would appear to have been presented to the master of the ship on its first visit to New York in the late 1870s, and in 1942 it somehow appeared for sale at Howell’s store, Cardiff where it was bought by Mrs H.S. Jones, Frederick Jones’s daughter-in-law.
