Testimonial presented to Sir Robert M'Clure, 1856. Creator: Unknown

Testimonial presented to Sir Robert M'Clure, 1856....a beautiful work of art...presented to Captain Sir Robert M'Clure, late of her Majesty's discovery-ship Investigator, by a number of officers of the Royal Navy...in admiration of his intrepidity and perseverance in penetrating through the Polar Ocean in search of Sir John Franklin, which, as is well known, led to the solution of an important geographical problem in the discovery of the North-West Passage, and has rendered his name illustrious in the naval annals of the British empire. The testimonial consists of a winged figure of Fame standing on tiptoe on the part of a globe representing the Polar Seas, and in the act of blowing a trumpet. It is exquisitely carved in frosted silver...It is from the establishment of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
