He also mentions a fire in his studio in 1852 destroyed 15 years of his &quot;gatherings&quot;...so I&#039;m guessing any supposed ledger of cameos/orders before that point was lost. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
