拍品专文

The crest is that of Webster for Baron Dickinson Webster (1818–1860) of Penns Hall, Sutton Coldfield. The son of Joseph Webster, Baron was in fact his first name and not a title of rank. Webster had many business interest in the railways as well as in the manufacture of steel wire. His company, Webster & Horsfall Limited of Hay Mills Birmingham, manufactured the steel wire which encased the first successful Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable laid in 1866.
