Memorial to Col. Shadwell, late superintendent of the International Exhibition... 1862. Creator: Unknown
Memorial to Col. Shadwell, late superintendent of the International Exhibition: device on the address, 1862....rumour of wars has called away the gentleman who was nominated to the office of general manager of the Great Exhibition, 1862. Colonel Shadwell leaves...to join our army in Canada, the Superintendents of Classes of the International Exhibition presenting him with a memorial and a handsome signet ring in token of their regard, which were given last week (on the eve of the gallant gentleman's departure) at the Society of Arts. We engrave the device from the illuminated address...The device is emblematical of Peace and War, the caduceus being replaced by the sword; the open book of the departed year with the closed book of the future year. May it prove prosperous, and the great undertaking that is to stamp it find a stanch supporter in our Royal Mistress and her princely son!'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This memorial print commemorates Colonel Shadwell, the late superintendent of the International Exhibition of 1862. The image captures the moment when the Superintendents of Classes of the International Exhibition presented Colonel Shadwell with a memorial and a signet ring as a token of their deep respect and admiration. The occasion took place on the eve of Colonel Shadwell's departure to join the British army in Canada, where rumors of war had called him away. The device on the address is emblazoned with symbols of peace and war, symbolizing the transition from peace to conflict. The caduceus, a traditional symbol of peace and commerce, is replaced by a sword, reflecting the shift in circumstances. The open book of the departing year is contrasted with the closed book of the future year, symbolizing the uncertainty and unpredictability of the future. This poignant moment was recorded in the Illustrated London News in 1862, providing a glimpse into the historical context of the time. The print serves as a reminder of Colonel Shadwell's significant role in the International Exhibition and his courage in answering the call to duty in the face of war.
