Notes:
Souvenir badge commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, manufactured by Whitehead & Hoag Company, presumably in 1897. The badge (4.4 cm in diameter) bears a portrait of Queen Victoria, with the words "Diamond Jubilee, 1837-1897." The image of Victoria, printed in color, appears to be derived from the series of photographic portraits executed by Alexander Bassano in 1882. The badge is attached to a cream-colored silk ribbon, bearing the flag of the United States and the Red Ensign of the United Kingdom, beneath the word "Souvenir" stamped in silver.
