In response to request for examples of Monotype Portraits, I have decided to upload the one my Grandfather produced, whilst working for Battley Brothers, Clapham. My Grandfather Roy Purnell was an employee at the firm, and started there in 1951. 22 Years later he became sales Director, a position he held for a further 13 years. The portrait was first published in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II. It was later republished in 1997, on Her Majesty's 50th Wedding Anniversary and to commemorate the centenary of Battley Brothers Printers. I have more information about the company, and it's creation back in 1897, by a 17 year old John Rose Battley, and his 20 year old brother, who started printing in their parents home.
