Inscriptions verso-(printed label) "Albertini's statue of Silence. This stereograph
was taken in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The statue in marble
in the foreground is by Albertini, an eminent sculptor in Rome, and is
intended to be emblematical of Silence. By an inscription on the
pedestal, it would appear to have been the gift of George S.Maude,
B.A., of St. Catherine Hall. The Apollo in the saloon beyond is only a
cast of the well-known statue in marble in the British Museum"
