Comments:

by Geoffrey Godden:
This rare Grant silk portrait was issued in 1886, perhaps especially for the Edinburgh Exhibition of that year, and it is listed on printed back-labels of that period, priced at 6d.

The heading, 'Wizard of the North', is printed on the card-mount.

Other comments:
There is no back label on this particular card.
