The medals shown in the photograph have quite a history attached to them. Among them is the order of her Catholic Majesty the Queen of Spain.? Blondin's final performances in Australia were in Melbourne during Christmas week 1874, meaning that the carte de visite offered here, which incorporates the publisher's caption commemorating his farewell, is likely to have been sold as a souvenir at one of these spectacular events. …
