Framed Print of City of London Medal to commemorate the visit of the King of Greece, 1881. Creator: Unknown
City of London Medal to commemorate the visit of the King of Greece, 1881. Our Engraving represents the medal designed by Mr. George G. Adams, sculptor, to commemorate the visit of the King of the Hellenes to the City of London last year. The obverse side presents a portrait of his Majesty in high-relief; on the reverse side is an allegorical group, in which Britannia, with the trident in her left hand, stands beside the prow of a vessel, symbolical of the port of London; while St. Paul's Cathedral appears in the distance, and a female figure, a personification of the City of London, rests one hand on the civic shield with the civic dagger, and with the other hand gracefully presents to the goddess Athena a scroll on which the City address is inscribed. The shield, spear, and olive branch of Minerva, harmoniously grouped, suggest peace prepared for war; whilst the Acropolis of Athens towers above that side of the design in well-defined perspective. This design, selected from a competition, is worthy the reputation of Mr. Adams, who also obtained the prize, and executed the Juror's medal of the Great Exhibition of 1851, and the medal for the opening of the Crystal Palace'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
