The Medal of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution, For the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck

FOR THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK.

Obverse.— Bust of Her Majesty Queen Victoria; beneath, in minute letters, "L. C. Wyon." Double legend, " Royal National Life-boat Institution. Founded in 1824. Incorporated i860. Victoria, Patroness." Reverse.—Three sailors in a Life-boat,—one of whom is in the act of rescuing an exhausted mariner from the waves on a fragment of the wreck. "W. Wyon, Mint." Inscription, "Let not the deep swallow me up." THE beautiful obverse, of this medal, executed by L. C. Wros, Esq., represents the bust of QUEEN VICTORIA, Her Majesty's locks gracefully waving and gathered in a knot behind, from which issues a wreath of oak clustering over the forehead. This life-like portrait of the QUEEN, in high relief, conveys a truly pleasing and faithful likeness of HER MAJESTY at that period (1862), combining the dignity of aspect and benevolence which have always characterised the Queen throughout her long and prosperous reign.

The reverse, representing the Life-boat, in which there are three Seamen, rescuing a fourth from the sea, is a work of great merit. Two of the men are steadying the boat, while the other, stooping, draws in the Shipwrecked Sailor, whose figure is given so as to show the form in the most natural manner; and the expression thrown into his coun- tenance looking up to his preserver is supplicating in the extreme, while the easy flowing lines of this sailor are finely contrasted by those of his companions: the whole displaying a perfect knowledge of the human frame, and a command of the graver to embody what he had shadowed out to himself.

But there is another pleasing motive for admiration of this beautiful Medal, as the figure who is so humanely extending his relief to the drowning Mariner is a portrait of the Artist, the late WILLIAM WYON, Esq., K. A., himself.

The following is a LIST of the GOLD and SILVER MEDALS that have been voted by the Committee of the Institution, since Its establishment in 1824, to persons whose humane and intrepid exertions in saving Life from Shipwreck on our Coasts have been deemed sufficiently conspicuous to merit that honourable distinction. The Cases will be found recorded in detail in the several Annual Reports of the Institution.

The total number of Medals granted by the Institution up to the present time is 1,058, 96 of which were in Gold, and 962 in Silver.

Kate.— The asterisk (*) after the name denotes the reception of a Gold Medal. The figure after the name signifies the number of honorary distinctions received from the Institution. Abbreviations.—C1. Gd.—Coast Guard. R. C.—Revenue Cruiser. M. M.—Master Mariner.
