C. Wyon (1826-1891) was the eldest son of William Wyon (1795-1851). Educated in art by his father, he became a skilled engraver. When 16 he already had made several medals, and when 24 he succeeded his father with the title of Modeller and Engraver (1851). He made a great contribution to coinage, which he was particularly trained for by his father.\nThe Irish painter Maclise (1806-1870) studied at Cork School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. Initially a portraitist, he made his name as a history painter, and executed monumental compositions in the Palace of Westminster. He also produced caricatures for Fraser's Magazine, and was friendly with Charles Dickens. Maclise visited Paris, Brussels, Italy and Germany, and his later works have a distinct Germanic character.","physicalDescription":"This medal - a prize medal of the International Exhibition of 1862 - depicts on the obverse an allegorical group of Britannia seated left and receiving the offerings of the Arts and Sciences, which are depicted as kneeling figures.
