Two Late 19th century bronze medals. One awarded to Laura Johnson, later Dame Laura Knight (1877-1970), one of Britain's most famous painters and the other to her mother, Charlotte Johnson. Laura became the youngest student to enrol at Nottingham School of Art at the age of 13 in 1890. The medals were presented to Charlotte in 1881 and her daughter, Laura in 1893.They were awarded by the Science and Art Department of South Kensington Museum in London, now the V&A. Both medals measure 5.5cms approx. The edge of Laura's medal is inscribed with words 'Laura Johnson Subject 8b2 1893', while her mother's medal says 'Charlotte Johnson Nottingham Stage 16a 1881.' We understand 16a refers to painting the human figure or animals in monochrome from casts in oil, watercolour or tempura. 8b2 is unknown. Laura went on to become one of Britain's most famous and respected artists, paving the way for other female artists to gain recognition.Laura worked in oils, watercolours, etching engraving and drypoint and in 1903 married fellow artist Harold Knight. Known for capturing London's world of theatre and ballet in canvas and for her work as a war artist. She was also inspred by marginalised communities such as circus performers and gypsies. Laura became the only woman to be given First and Second World War commissions. In 1926 she was a made a Dame of the British Empire; in 1936 she was the first woman elected to full membership of the Royal Academy and in 1946 she was the only British artist to cover the Nuremberg trials
