The Letters M through Z in Gothic Style

Henri Cameré (signed by artist), c. 1864 - c. 1894

In designing these letters, Cameré was influenced by the initials in late medieval manuscripts. They were popular motifs in jewellery to signify the names of children and loved ones. A bracelet by the French goldsmith Lucien Falize with nearly the same initials is in the Schmuckmuseum in Pforzheim, Germany.
