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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the intricately designed obverse side of The International Exhibition Prize Medal from 1862. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but the design was inspired by Sir Edwin Landseer Maclise and executed by Leonard C. Wyon. The central theme of the medal revolves around the personification of various aspects of industry and commerce during the Victorian era. At the heart of the design, Britannia, the symbol of Britain, is depicted standing proudly on a dais, armed with a Minerva-like helmet and holding the rose of England as an ornament. Surrounding Britannia are several female personifications, each representing different aspects of industry. Machinery, a robust figure, supports a heavy press on her shoulders, while Manufactures, elegantly dressed, unfurls a roll of richly-patterned fabric. Raw Produce, dressed in a simple fur skin, holds various fruits, cereals, and geological specimens, including gold nuggets. The design's intricacy is evident in the detailing of each figure, with Britannia's lion, in particular, showcasing the challenges of balancing multiple elements in the composition. Despite the lion's crouching pose suggested by the forepaws, its hindquarters are forced into a recumbent position due to the design's constraints. This medal, a testament to the artistic and industrial achievements of the time, was widely admired during the International Exhibition of 1862. The Illustrated London News published an article detailing the medal's design, highlighting the intricacies and symbolism of each figure. The photograph print offers a unique glimpse into the rich history and artistic prowess of the Victorian era.
