Comments:
It is not known how this is signed on the reverse, although as Mark Cottrill includes this title in his book The Silk Weavings of William Henry Grant, it can be assumed it was made by GRANT.

The actual portrait of George is identical to that used on the postcard gc72: H. M. George V (Reg. No. 574478), and that is known to have been made by Grant, so there can be little doubt this bookmrk was also made by GRANT.
