407. Society of Arts Silver Medal, Presented to Antoine Francois Jean Claudett, 1850, Society of Arts Silver Medal, by William Wyon at the Royal Mint, London, dated 1850, medal with Busts facing left of Scientia superposing Mercury border is a band of alternating thistle, rose, and shamrock, engraved to the rear ‘ANTOINE FRANCOIS JEAN CLAUDETT, 1850, For his Machines for Cutting Glass’ Antoine François Jean Claudet (August 18, 1797 – December 27, 1867), was a French photographer and artist who lived and worked in London, he produced some of the best daguerreotypes of the Victorian era, it has been estimated that he made around 1,800 images every year with subjects including Royalty, Michael Faraday, Charles Babbage plus many other famous Victorians. Antoine Claudet was born in Leyon, France in August 1797 at the end of the French Revolution. He moved to Paris when he was 21 and worked for his uncle at a bank. While in Paris he met and married a French woman whose family had moved to England. In 1825 Claudet was given the job of co-director by his wife’s nephew, George Bontemps of M. Ponces Grimbolt’s glass works just outside of Paris. Then in 1823 he moved to 89 High Holborn, London to import glass shades and sheets manufactured back in France. It was through this introduction to the glass industry that allowed Claudet to demonstrate his creative skills in inventing. In 1833 he invented a machine for cutting cylindrical glass. It was for this invention he was finally awarded, in 1853, this Society of Arts Silver medal by Price Albert and elected a fellow of the Royal Society. In 1839, having heard about Louis Daguerre’s photographic discovery, Claudet travelled to Paris and took lessons on the process from Daguerre himself. Claudette learnt the whole process and bought a licence for the then impressive sum of £200.00, Claudet was the first person in England to be able to perform the Daguerre process. In 1877, a year after Claudet’s death his entire studio was destroyed by fire with the loss of 20,000 negatives, daguerreotypes and prints. Interestingly this medal shows heat damage with some bleeding of the silver due to exposure to high temperature. It is safe to assume that this medal was kept at Claudet’s studio and was caught in the fire. The medal is, perhaps, the only surviving personal effect of Antoine Francois Jean Claudet known to exist £800 - £1200

A Historically Important Membership Medal Belonging to Thomas Telford, silver membership medal embossed to one side ‘ROYAL SOCIETY EDINBURGH INSTITUTED 1783’ and engraved on the other side ‘THOs TELFORD 1803’ , Telford was elected a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh on the 31st January 1803 Thomas Telford FRS, FRSE (9 August 1757 – 2 September 1834) was a Scottish civil engineer, architect and stonemason, and road, bridge and canal builder. After establishing himself as an engineer of road and canal projects in Shropshire, he designed numerous infrastructure projects in his native Scotland, as well as harbours and tunnels. Such was his reputation as a prolific designer of highways and related bridges, he was dubbed The Colossus of Roads (a pun on the Colossus of Rhodes), and, reflecting his command of all types of civil engineering in the early 19th century, he was elected as the first President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a post he held for 14 years until his death £800 - £1200
