Giltwood Framed collection of plaster intaglios with french blue leather ground.
The intaglio collections were popular souvenirs during the "Grand Tour" of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries.
These small, white plaster casts are reproductions of antique carved gems, depicting classical figures, mythological scenes, and portraits of famous individuals.
Wealthy travelers collected them as mementos of their travels to Italy and Greece, displaying them in their homes as a sign of education and status.
The term "intaglio" comes from the Italian word for carving and refers to the art form of carving a design into a hard material.
