...I Think So!My last entry was a bit late, as I explained, because I was waiting for something to arrive... I have been wanting one of these for as long as I have known about them. This is a Bronze Medal awarded by the jury of the 1883 International Fisheries Exhibition. Aside from representing an important landmark in the story of fishing tackle, the medal was designed by L C Wyon, one of the leading coin designers and die-cutters of the nineteenth century. The medal was accompanied by a few other objects of interest, and I plan to include them in an article about the London Trade Exhibitions, - just need to do a bit more research!

My GGG Grandfather Henry Kitchen was awarded a silver medal at the exhibition for redesigning Trammel nets. I have managed to get a bronze and silver medal. Henry write a diary about his week in London which you can find on line. He was also painted by Stanhope forbes who was one of the Newlyn Artist. Look up The Lighthouse and Henry is sitting in the boat.
