* National Portrait Gallery, London: The National Portrait Gallery was opened in 1896. This striking facade was designed by an obscure ecclesiastical architect Ewan Christian and commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery in 1996. The wreathed busts of the founding fathers appear above the doorway. This model is often paired with the Royal Academy of Arts Gateway bookend. Dimensions: 7.5"H x 3.5"W x 2.5"D.
* The Royal Academy of Arts Gateway, London, 19c: The original Burlington House was designed in 1665 and built in the fields of Piccadilly, not far from the court of St. James's Palace. The Royal Academy (site of major exhibitions and a notable British institution) moved to Burlington House in 1868. This bookend is modelled on the pedestrian entrance and was commissioned by the Royal Academy in 1996. The head of Athena and the Owl of Wisdom form the keystone of the arch. Dimensions: 7.5"H x 3.5"W x 2.5"D.
