Obverse of the "Wren" Medal, 1850. Medal commemorative of Sir Christopher Wren, just issued by the Art-Union of London...The head of the great architect on the obverse is by Mr. Wilson. The medallic series, illustrating the history of British art (to which the Wren Medal belongs), was undertaken by the Art-Union with a view to give encouragement to an art hitherto much neglected among us; and the specimens already issued form valuable mementos of our most distinguished artists, and of some of their chief works. We are glad to learn that the subscription list of this year promises to be very large'. Wren (1632-1723) was one of Britain's greatest architects. He designed 53 churches in London including St Paul's Cathedral. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
