Comments:
Although the number '3' appears on a number of different versions of this fairly common tray only occasionally are they marked “H.D. Beach”. Beach never dated nor titled its trays like Meek & Beach (and later Meek and American Art Works); however, we discovered the “Rosalind” title when we traced this to a painting by Angelo Asti (best known to tray collectors from the Meek “Annabelle” stock design most frequently associated with Christian Feigenspan of Newark, NJ). Beach’s version is more of a close up, leaving out the details below her collar bone that are found in Asti’s painting.

Rosalind by Angelo Asti
Rosalind by Angelo Asti
Angelo Asti was a late 19th century French painter of Italian heritage, famous for painting beautiful women. He worked for a cincinnati lithography company for several years in the 1880's. This image is cataloged as "Rosalind" and was apparently licensed by Beach (as well as others; you may encounter it on postcards or porcelain among other products). Beach may have adopted the licensing approach and then Meek copied the practice later (there are numerous references in early 20th century Coshocton newspapers about Meek being abroad in Europe buying artwork to reproduce at Meek & Beach/Meek Co). Interestingly, Asti produced a mirror image of Rosalind with a purplish flower and pink/purple dress; unfortunately, we have been unable to discover its title.
To add confusion to the story, Kaufmann & Strauss also issued a Rosalind tray in a 13" tray form. The perspective is from a further distance and a bit of her gold dress can be seen (which appears in Asti’s original). In the profile for the K&S version we provide a more detailed explanation that copyright law was not considered to cover advertising content prior to a 1903 Supreme Court decision.

Size, Shape and Advertising Placement
All Beach tray versions we have encountered are oval; we have seen a few examples of tin-over-cardboard and self-framed-tins (SFT). This tray appears with 2 different rims—the more common faux serving tray version and the solid blue rim with fancy scrolling. Advertising text on the former tends to be printed in black on the image itself; on the latter it usually appears in gold on the rim.
Hager and Price
Hager does not discuss this design, and as mentioned in previous Beach profiles, he did not include Beach designs in his “date of introduction” table. Interestingly, he includes it twice in his catalog; the examples depict the two different rim variation. He did this for several Beach designs that came with two different rim options. Although not as ubiquitous as Beach’s first two designs, Rosalind shows up fairly frequently. As is typical with common stock designs like this, non-brewery examples tend to go in the mid to upper double figures. Brewery examples mostly tend toward the low to mid triple figures, although a few rare brewery examples have made it into low four figures.
