EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a silver medal that commemorates the death of the Duke of Wellington in 1852. Created by English School in the 19th century, this exquisite piece is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The obverse side of the medal features a striking portrait bust of Wellington, dressed in his military uniform, facing left within an oval beaded border. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing both his regal presence and stern countenance. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription that reads "A Arthur Duke of WellingtonA" paying homage to this legendary figure. On the reverse side, we find another inscription beneath a ducal coronet, documenting Wellington's birth and death dates. This simple yet elegant design adds depth to the commemorative nature of this medal. Crafted by Thomas Ryan in London during 1852, this silver medal stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It serves as a poignant reminder of Wellington's contributions as an officer and soldier. Through its artistry and sculpture-like qualities, this photograph captures not only a beautiful piece but also evokes emotions associated with loss and remembrance.
