Summary
A book or album cover in blue silk. Central white oval with the letter 'B' in red and white surmounted by a coronet, surrounded by the motto of the Order of the Garter. Lined with white silk. The embroidery was once thought to have been the work of Lady Beaconsfield, but this is unlikely as Disraeli was made a member of the Order of the Garter in 1878, six years after her death.
