Royal Society of Arts Prize Medal 1900 – 1901 to Sir Trevor Dawson, 1st Baron of Edgewarebury, who served in capacity of General Manager of Vickers Armament’s during the First World War. Royal Society of Arts Prize Medal in silver. The obverse has a detailed portrait of King Edward VII and the script 'Edward VII R&I Patron MDCCCCI' and is signed 'Emil Fuchs 1901'. The reverse has the script ' Founded 1754 Incorporated by Royal Charter 1847' and within a wreath 'Society of Arts Manufactures and Commerce' it is signed to the reverse 'LC Wyon'. The side is engraved LIEUTENANT ARTHUR DAWSON, LATE R.N., FOR HIS PAPERS ON ‘MODERN ARTILLERY’. SOCIETY’S SESSION 1900-1901.Commander Sir Arthur Trevor Dawson 1st Baronet Edgewarebury (1/5/1866 – 19/5/1931) was an English businessman who served as managing director of the armaments giant Vickers from 1906 to 1931. He joined the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1879, promoted Lieutenant 1892 and became an experimental officer at Woolwich Arsenal.In 1896, left the Royal Navy to join the armaments firm Vickers as ordnance superintendent, becoming a director in 1898, and managing director in 1906 He remained in this post until his death. He was also chairman of Chilworth Gunpowder from 1900 and was a director of many of Vickers' subsidiaries, including Canadian Vickers, Vickers-Terni in Italy, and the Placencias Arsenal in Spain.He retained close connections with the Royal Navy and the British Government and sat on a number of government committees. He also collected intelligence for the Admiralty on his foreign trips, including one occasion when he skated around the ice-bound dockyards of Kiel to see the German naval ships under construction. He was knighted on 13 December 1909.During the First World War, his prominence in the armaments industry naturally increased even further. Although he retained the trust of the government, Vickers, along with other armaments firms, was accused of charging too much. His standing was also damaged by the so-called 'dope scandal'. In 1915–1916, Dawson aided the MP and speculator Grant Morden in setting up the British Cellulose and Chemical Manufacturing Company. The value of the shares was later pushed up by unscrupulous means to an artificially high level, until they were worth £14 10s in 1918 (having originally been worth 6d each). This blatant war profiteering was investigated by a parliamentary select committee in 1918 and an official inquiry chaired by Lord Sumner in 1919.He was to have been raised to the peerage in the 1917 New Year Honours, but his name was removed from the list at the last minute, probably because of the unpopularity of the armament’s companies. He was, however, created a baronet, of Edgewarebury, of the parish of Edgware, in the County of Middlesex, in the 1920 New Year Honours. In recognition of his war service, he was promoted commander in the Royal Navy as of 11 November 1918.After the war, his influence declined. Another scandal broke in 1920, when Vickers was sued by Admiral Sir Percy Scott over royalty payments for a gun sight manufactured by Vickers which Scott had invented and patented. The judge, Lord Coleridge, made it quite clear that he did not believe Dawson's testimony, and found in Scott's favour. He was later implicated in shady dealings with the Turkish government over oil in Iraq.Sir Basil Zaharoff, worked for Vickers during this period and the pair would be well known to each other.This medal was presented to Sir Dawson at a time when he was becoming ‘noticed’ by the Armaments Company Vickers. Well worth further reading on what he and Sir Basil Zaharoff got up to in the world of Armaments sales etc.

Three English engravings, after the drawings of William Alexander (1767-1816), draughtsman with the 1792 Macartney Embassy to The Qianlong Emperor, comprising: 'The approach of The Emperor of China to his tent in Tartary to receive the British Ambassador'; 'View of the Western Gates of the City of Pekin'; and 'Chinese barges of the Embassy passing through a sluice on the Grand Canal'. Each image published by George Nicol in London on 12-4-1796, and framed and glazed. The largest with overall dimensions of 69 x 55 cm (3)Provenance: The Property of an English Lady, and from a Private UK Collection.For another example of the first engraving listed here, see Victoria & Albert Museum, No.E.600-1945, given to the Museum by Mr. G.H. Clarke. See also British Museum 1872, 0210.4 for Alexander's watercolour over graphite picture of this scene.Whilst we cannot be certain as to how accurate Alexander's portrayal of Qianlong's entourage was here, the image brought some sense of Qing Imperial tradition back to England. Qianlong seems not to have received George III's gifts with particular enthusiasm, and Macartney's attempts to negotiate closer commercial and diplomatic links with Imperial China failed. Alexander, himself, was bitterly disappointed not to visit The Great Wall, recording this regret in his journal entry for 28th August, 1793. Nevertheless, he did draw an excellent view of The Great Wall which has survived [British Library. WD 961.f60]. Alexander was subsequently employed as a curator of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, 1808-1816, dying at Maidstone in 1816. His self portrait of of 1793, shows him with a strong face, and with an eye patch across the the right eye.. Please note that it has not been possible to take any of these images from the frame; some areas of wear, foxing, and light or other damage extant to both paper and images.Approach: 44 x 29 cm , frame 69 x 56 cmView: 35 x 24 cm, frame 58.5 x 49 cmChinese barges: 35 x 24 cm, frame 59 x 50 cm
