British and World Historical Medals

Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton, 1824, copper medals by E. Avern, published by T. Gosden (2), half-length bust of each to either side, almost full-face, both 35mm (BHM 1240) [2]. Extremely fine, scarce £90-120

Gosden was a bookseller in St. Martins Lane, London. It is thought that the medals were struck to promote an edition of The Compleat Angler
