An 1854 guide to the portraits and sculpture displayed at the Crystal Palace in Sydenham, London, written by Samuel Phillips and published by the Crystal Palace Library with Bradbury and Evans for visitors to the exhibition building. The picture is a circular official handbook emblem, showing a large interlaced monogram framed by the words OFFICIAL HANDBOOK and the date 1854 in a decorative ring with dotted borders. A designer could take from it the model of a compact, symmetrical seal or badge built from a central monogram, banded lettering, and corner-set numerals.
