[QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 487301, member: 8569"]Thanks afantiques, I suppose it was something to do with this tradition reading the elopement and the two in the coach which are not afraid, the men makes a salute with his hat and the maid is quiet in the coach, but don't know the exact name of Gretna Green, and as by hazard it was just the name which is damaged on the picture.:banghead: It was certainly a gift made for a couple married in Gretna Green, it's a lot of work for a souvenir item, I want to search a picture like this scene to know if it was a particular event. After a web search, this is with Yandex I have the better results, some are couples in a coach but none are equivalent, then it was more a single event as a story or a legend I suppose. As it seems that afantiques knows well the stories about Scotland, can you say me if this snuffbox picture is something traditional or made only for a specific person please ?
