by Godden:
The Grant portrait of Queen Victoria was issued in her Jubilee year - 1887. A small version was included in the Jubilee Album.

Other portraits of Queen Victoria depicted her as she was on her accession in 1837 (§955a) - [being go240 on this site].

The silks showing her in 1887 were issued in two sizes, one (§955)- [being the image above] - of 7 inches by 5 1/4 inches (17.8cm by 13.3cm), the other (955b) 6 inches by 4 1/2 inches (15.2cm by 11.4cm) - [being go248 on this site].

In addition to these, a large Jubilee Trophy was made, measuring 9 inches by 7 inches (22.9cm by 17.8cm). This included a portrait silk of Queen Victoria, the Royal Arms and other emblems (§955c) - [being go2 on this site].
