<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 562008, member: 5833&quot;]I don&#039;t know what the story is in either case, but one of the Roman cameo cutters I knew simply as Filippo Tignani, becomes Prof. Tignani in tourist guidebooks for Rome that date from very late in his career.&nbsp; Another change that seems to have occurred at the same time is that he begins to be listed in the more general jewellery section, in addition to being among those who produced cameos specifically.&nbsp; I&#039;m not at all certain, but since I don&#039;t see every third name in these guidebook lists designated as Prof., have to think it has significance, maybe affiliation with an academy, maybe just some recognition of master status &amp; a workshop where others are training.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
