<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 84066, member: 44&quot;]&gt;The larger cameo intrigues me and I can definitely see the likeness to Gen R E Lee <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. I wonder if the uniform can be identified? I also came across some portraits of Guiseppe Garibaldi, and see a likeness there too: <a href="http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/illustration/portrait-of-giuseppe-garibaldi-19th-century-stock-graphic/153414437" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/illustration/portrait-of-giuseppe-garibaldi-19th-century-stock-graphic/153414437" rel="nofollow">http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail...aribaldi-19th-century-stock-graphic/153414437</a></p><p>What do you think?&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree, he certainly looks like Garibaldi. I could find no cameos of Gen. R.E.L., but did find a couple of Garilbdi. True to form, none of them were of him in a uniform. They were of him in his iconic red shirt and scarf - the first 2.</p><p><a href="http://www.antiquecameos.net/garibaldi.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.antiquecameos.net/garibaldi.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.antiquecameos.net/garibaldi.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In the &quot;Search&quot; box, top left, put in</p><p>BEN-F-005473-0000</p><p>Try to click the hypolinked letter &quot;i&quot; below the thumbnail for a full page of info.
