Decoration of the Mejidie, 1854. Order of the Medjidie - Turkish medal presented by Abdulmejid I, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, to British naval officer Montagu O'Reilly for his service during the Crimean War. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, with the discernment of a keen diplomatist, observed that Lieut. O'Reilly seized every opportunity to earn for his Captain and himself "a place in the world's eye;" and, therefore, his Lordship made a passage for the Lieutenant to the Sultan. On the 6th of February last, his Majesty granted to Lieut. O'Reilly, at his palace on the Bosphorus, a private audience...A short time after this interview the decoration of the Mejidie was sent to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe for Lieutenant Montagu O'Reilly as an acknowledgment "for special service in the Black Sea". From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts the Decoration of the Mejidie, an esteemed Turkish medal presented by Abdulmejid I, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, to British naval officer Montagu O'Reilly in 1854. The image is taken from an illustration published in the Illustrated London News, a prominent 19th-century British newspaper. Lieutenant Montagu O'Reilly, a skilled and ambitious naval officer, had earned the admiration of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, for his exceptional service during the Crimean War in the Black Sea. Lord Stratford, recognizing O'Reilly's potential to make an impact, facilitated an audience with the Sultan for the lieutenant. The audience took place on February 6, 1854, at the Sultan's palace on the Bosphorus. Following this private meeting, the Order of the Medjidie, a prestigious decoration bestowed by the Ottoman monarchy, was granted to Lieutenant O'Reilly as a token of appreciation for his 'special service in the Black Sea.' The decoration, which is shown in the photograph, features a star and a crescent moon on a red ribbon. The image also includes a portrait of Abdulmejid I, adding to its historical significance. This photograph print is a testament to the diplomatic prowess of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and the exceptional service of Lieutenant Montagu O'Reilly during a pivotal moment in history.
