Then there's natural 'intelligence.' Five years ago, prowling around the Internet, came across something I had written here as a joke repeated in someone's social media, completely unattributed, as if it were their own discovery:

CAMEOS: Show & Tell or Ask & Answer

 

Oh, I remember that one!

The ad is for Charles Schmoll, the successor establishment to Schmoll Senior & Son, which was founded in 1838. They offer a large assortment of cameos in both hard stone and shell…. “med. expos. 1878”means they won a medal at the exposition of that year. Charles Schmoll & the earlier firm seem to be primarily dealers. Looks like Charles began to cut cameos himself. He seems to have signed everything he ever made, including this one. The signature was also confirmed by curator and the editor of Cameotimes
