THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION - PRIZE MEDAL - OBVERSE, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The International Exhibition - Prize Medal - obverse, 1862. Design by Maclise, made by Leonard C. Wyon. 'The ill effect of crowding the composition is particularly observable in the lion, for the forepaws indicate the attitude of crouching over the trident, while the hind quarters, from the necessity in this view of the animal of forcing them into the design, look as if foreshortened in the recumbent position. Besides the lion there are no less than seven figures... Britannia, raised on a dais, is armed with the usual Minerva-like helmet...The rose of England serves as an ornament to the edge of her throne. Female impersonifications...await the wreath before her...Machinery stands beside the cogged wheels of a machine, and supports a heavy press on her shoulders; Manufactures, richly attired, unfolds a roll of some gorgeously-figured fabric, and by her side are a casket, a vase, a goblet, and an altar cross; the last intended doubtless to indicate that the choicest of her productions are consecrated to the service of religion. Raw Produce is, properly, dressed very simply, a fur skin covering the lower part of her figure. She holds...fruits, cereals, and geological specimens - gold nuggets, we are at liberty to suppose, among the rest'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.

Said assumed the reins of the Government on the 17th of July, 1854. A short time afterwards Said went to Constantinople to receive at the hands of the Sultan his investiture as Viceroy...One of his first acts was the abolition of slavery; then he suppressed trade monopoly; the capitation taxes; reorganised the army, which he reduced to about 20,000 men; regulated the taxes, commenced and achieved various works of public utility, and warmly supported the Isthmus of Suez project...His energy and activity during his short reign of eight years have enabled him to accomplish colossal reforms, reforms inspired by his intelligent appreciation of European ideas...Said Pacha has but recently created an Egyptian museum at Cairo...'.

The Golden Bull of Clement VII. confirming Henry VIII. in the title of Defender of the Faith, 1860. 'The title...which forms a part of the Royal style of British Sovereigns, was originally bestowed upon Henry VIII. in 1521, by Pope Leo X., in requital of that monarch's celebrated "Defence of the Seven Sacraments " against Martin Luther...The apostolical confirmation of Leo's rescript to which the seal is affixed is now in our Public Record Office, and forms one of its most valued treasures. It was granted by Leo's successor, Pope Clement Vll., in 1524, and in the exaggerated praises lavished on Henry it even exceeds its predecessor, though, so far as the title is concerned, it simply confirms the grant to the King himself - "Approbamus, confirmamus Tibique perpetuum et proprium deputamus". Henry was so gratified by the honour, however, that he continued to wear it after he had quarrelled with the Popes and denied them authority...The obverse of Clement's golden bull represents the customary heads of the Apostles St. Paul (on the right) and St. Peter (on the left); with the legend, "Gloriosi - Principes - Terrae - S. Pa - S. Pe.".' From "Illustrated London News", 1860. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
