Antique print titled 'Diamond Combs and Head Ornaments'. Original chromolithographic plate of diamond combs and head ornaments. This print originates from 'Gems', a catalog containing fascinating essays on 31 individual gem stones, as well as on heraldry, and the hardness of gems. The prints were printed using real gold. Edwin Streeter, an eminent jeweler from London, active in obtaining pearls and gemstones at their sources, was also the author of several authoritative books on the subject.
