DISCOVERY EXPEDITION 1901-04 – CHARLES ROYDSA silver sporting medal awarded to First Lieutenant Charles W.R. Royds, the obverse with expedition emblem of a penguin on an ice-floe, an iceberg behind surrounded by the raised legend 'DISCOVERY' NATIONAL ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION 1901', the reverse with raised legend 'ANTARCTIC/ SPORTS/ WON BY' engraved beneath 'LT. C.W.R. ROYDS, R.N.', diameter 28mm.Footnotes:RARE ANTARCTIC SPORTS MEDAL AWARDED TO LIEUTENANT CHARLES W.R. ROYDS, who was already a distinguished and well-travelled officer in the Royal Navy before he was picked in 1901 along with Robert Falcon Scott to serve as First Lieutenant aboard the Discovery as the expedition meteorologist. He was also 'in charge of physical training. Royds took part in the sledging programme, leading a sledging journey of exploration across the Ross Ice Shelf. Cape Royds on Ross Island was named for him' (Scott Polar Research Institute, website).The Antarctic Sporting Medals were given to serving officers on the Discovery Expedition as prizes for their sporting achievements, ranging from sledge-pulling to rifle shooting and skiing. The medals, struck in advance of the expedition, were devised as a way to keep morale high, with sporting events arranged to alleviate boredom during the long winters. For example in honour of King Edward VII's birthday on 8 November 1902, a general holiday was declared, the ship decorated with Union flags, and a sports day competition organised with events including a 'flat skis race' (won by Petty Officer Edgar Evans), a rifle shooting match and a toboggan race. It is unknown for what event, on what occasion, Royds was presented his medal. Subsequent to his Antarctic exploits he had a distinguished naval career, being appointed a Companion of St Michael and St George for his war service, prior to his retirement in 1926 on promotion to Rear-Admiral.Provenance: Vice Admiral Sir Charles William Rawson Royds (1876-1931); Christie's, London, 10 April 1997, lot 130.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

H.M.S. LYRA AND SLAVE TRADE, ZANZIBARSilver shield plaque listing the Officers of H.M.S. Lyra, the shield engraved with eight names (Commander Oldfield, Lieut. J.A. de Wahl, etc.), c.52 x 50mm., hallmarked 'London, 1861'Footnotes:In 1857 H.M.S. Lyra, under the command of Radulphus Bryce Oldfield, was sent to the East African coast with specific orders to enforce anti-slavery treaties. On arriving in Zanzibar in 1861 Rigby requested 'Commander Oldfield to remain for the protection of British and foreign residents until the piratical Arabs from the Persian Gulf had departed.. Until the Lyra arrived, the town had been completely at their mercy...' (Russell, General Rigby, Zanzibar, and the Slave Trade, 1935, pp.181-182). In his own diary Rigby recorded the successes achieved by the Lyra, and his good personal relations with Oldfield, noting 'I daily took long walks into the interior of the island with Speke & Grant [the explorers], and the Officer of the Brisk and Lyra', and on Oldfield's departure, after a joint visit to the Sultan, 'The Lyra left... for the Seychelles, and I left to solitude, in wretched health'. In Rigby's autobiography written for his family in the present sale (see Lot 94), his son notes that Rigby was gifted a silver goblet from Oldfield and the officers of the Lyra 'a mark of regard for his kindness and attention whilst stationed on the East Coast of Africa and his able assistance in suppressing the piratical slave trade carried on by the Arabs from the Persian Gulf in March and April 1861'. It seems probable that our silver shield relates to this presentation.Provenance: Christopher Palmer Rigby (1820-1885).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
