Its romantic landscape depicts the Ponte Salaro near Rome, derived from a late eighteenth-century view of the Italian countryside. The scene is rendered in a wonderfully rich, dark cobalt blue against a warm creamy ground and surrounded by an elaborate floral border and distinctive gadrooned edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis matching pair dates precisely to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNovember 1924\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, confirmed by the impressed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“N24” date marks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e found on the reverse of each plate.
