My great Aunt - Bathsheba Aldred (Mother's Mother's sister) was at one time Lady's maid to Lady Probyn who presented her with the model when leaving her employ. It was handed down through mother to me. Gilberty Crossley, 12 Yardley Rd, Waltch, Warrington. 4 May 1955". The lid to the card opens to reveal a removable ink chamber which when removed reveals a plaque inscribed with the date 1878 and the initials D C, presumably the artist.
