A large glass rummer of photographic interest, dated 1857, engraved with a panel containing a camera, inscribed 'Presented to H H F Leithead by H H Bright, R Miller & J B Burden, Hartlepool 1857', within fruiting grapevine, raised on a short plain stem, 17.2cm.

An H F Leithead is listed as being enrolled as a member of the Liverpool Photographic Society in 1858, suggesting that this was a farewell gift from fellow enthusiasts in Hartlepool the previous year.
