EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases The Beaufoy Shakspearian Medal, awarded in 1854 to the most successful competitor among the boys of Carpenter's or the London School, in the production of an essay on Shakespeare and the immortal productions of England's dramatic bard. The intricately designed medal features a bust of William Shakespeare, side-faced to the left, taken from the bust on his monument at Stratford-upon-Avon. The dyes for the medal were prepared by the esteemed engraver, Benjamin Wyon. Benjamin Wyon, a renowned figure in the field of numismatics and medallic art, was responsible for the preparation of the dyes for this exceptional medal. Wyon's expertise in his craft is evident in the rich, vibrant colors that bring Shakespeare's visage to life. The obverse side of the medal boasts a striking portrait of Shakespeare, his profound gaze and expressive features capturing the essence of the legendary playwright. The medal, a testament to the enduring influence of Shakespeare's works, is a treasure of English literature and a source of inspiration for generations of scholars and artists. This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the study of Shakespeare was a source of pride and accomplishment for young students. The medal, a symbol of their hard work and dedication, remains an enduring reminder of the power of literature to inspire and captivate.
