Catalogue Note
John Linnit insculpa son poinçon en 1809, ayant établi un partenariat avec William Atkinson. Il s'installa ensuite à son propre compte, changeant d'adresse plusieurs fois entre Holborn et Regent Street. Il connut un vif succès, notamment pour ses tabatières en or et argent, les plus connues étant celles décorées d'un colporteur comme celle présentée ici.
