A CASED SILVER PAPAL MEDAL, coming in an embossed red Morocco case with spring action holder system and blue lining which is printed in gold lettering 'THIS SILVER MEDAL BEARING THE LIKENESS OF HIS HOLINESS WAS PRESENTED TO LADY MEUX, BY POPE LEO XIII THROUGH HIS EMINENCE CARDINAL RAMPOLLA APRIL 1899'. The medal itself has the profile of Pope Leo XIII below which is engraved 'BIANCHI' and the reverse having an image of what appears to be the Pope meeting Christ with 'BORGIANIS DIAETIS INCVLVM PRISTINVM RESTITVTIS' around the scene and the date MDCCCXCVIII belowNOTE: Lady Meux was born a butcher's daughter Valerie Susan Langdon in 1847, wife to Sir Henry Meux 3rd Baronet - a wealthy London Brewer, she was never accepted her husbands family or polite society due to having claimed to be an actress, bar maid and banjo player going by the name of Val Reece in Music Hall but rumours abound about her being a prostitute. She was painted three times by Whistler,one of which is part of the Frick collection, the third piece thought to have been destroyed by Whistler himself after arguments between the two. She enjoyed spending her wealth on extravagance, being known to drive herself around London in a carriage drawn by a pair of Zebras and was rumoured to attend Boxing prize fights incognito. As well as this she adorned their Theobalds home in Hertfordshire with such things as a swimming pool and an indoor roller skating rink and even persuaded her husband to Purchase Christopher Wren's Temple Bar from the City of London and installed at their country estate as a new gateway. Lady Meux was a passionate collector of ancient Egyptology with Egyptologist Wallis Budge, publishing a catalogue of over 1,700 of her pieces including 800 scarabs and amulets. His publication 'The Book of Paradise' was dedicated to her. She eventually offered the collection to the British Museum, but the trustees turned this down and it was sold. She also acquired five illustrated Ethiopic manuscripts,and on finding that they were revered by the Ethiopians, she left them in her will to Emperor Menelik. During the Second Boer War, the early British reverses had made headline news and the defence of Ladysmith had made a particular impression on Lady Meux. On hearing of the landing of naval guns for the Battle of Ladysmith she had ordered, at her own expense, six naval 12-pounders on special field carriages made by Armstrong of Elswick. The guns were sent directly to Lord Roberts in South Africa, because they had been refused by the War Office. They were known as the "Elswick Battery", and were manned by the 101st (Northumbrian) Regiment Royal Artillery (Volunteers). Apparently Sir Hedworth Lambton, the commander of the Naval Brigade at Ladysmith, returned to England, he called on Lady Meux at Theobalds to thank her for her gift and recount his adventures. She was so taken with him that she made him the chief beneficiary of her will, on condition that he change his surname to Meux as she was without direct heirs. When she died on 20 December 1910, he willingly changed his name by Royal Warrant and inherited the Hertfordshire estate
