<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Emma Vincent, post: 4363557, member: 47785&quot;]Hi Bronwen,</p><p>Thank-you so much for replying and sorry I am still learning my way around.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that you are right about James copying Woolners medallion as this seems to be something that James quite often did. </p><p><br /></p><p>In The Journals of the Society of Arts volume 13 ( January 6th 1865) James is listed as entering a cameo into The Society of Arts competition which was a copy of Bernedetto Pistrucci&#039;s &quot;George &amp; The Dragon sovereign design. This cameo was priced at £8 (if only we could by them at this price now..!!) So as you can see it is highly likely that you are right.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have now seen PepperAnna&#039;s pictures of her 1850 cameo and shared them with my mother and thank you for the other information pertaining to who the sitter is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any other information or cameo&#039;s that pop up of James Ronca would be gratefully received because unfortunately we as a family do not actually own any of James&#039;s cameo&#039;s <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> The only things we had are the set that my mothers Great Aunt Olga Ronca gifted to the V &amp; A showing how a cameo of J. E Millas was created along with James&#039;s cutting tools.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
