Légende

The Dublin Exhibition Medal, 1865. 'As a final token of the winding up of the Dublin International Exhibition, we present an Illustration of the Prize Medal, designed by a Belgian artist, and manufactured in the Exhibition Palace, under the superintendence of the Executive Council. The device, it will be seen, is simple and intelligible, requiring little or no interpretation. A winged and half-draped female figure, bearing an ample horn of plenty, hovers over land and sea; the façade of the Exhibition Palace, with various emblems of art and industry, is visible on the ground beneath; with a bust of Minerva in the foreground. On the reverse side of the medal is a wreath of the national plants intertwined with the names of the four quarters of the globe and surmounted by the Irish harp and Royal crown'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
