Regency Culture and Society: Awards Night

 

 

bligh-medal-289x300

Published in the July 1821 issue of Repository of Arts, Literature, Fashions &c this list of awards provides an interesting window in to honored arts, agricultural achievements and inventions.  I love how women are thoroughly represented (albeit in the arts categories).

The image is from a 2011 auction of a medal given in 1794, so apparently a few of these are still in circulation.
