Commentary
Médaille signée PINCHES LONDON au droit.
Les trésors d'art de la Grande-Bretagne ont été une exposition de beaux-arts tenue à Manchester, en Angleterre, du 5 mai au 17 octobre 1857. Il reste la plus grande exposition d'art qui se tiendra au Royaume-Uni, éventuellement dans le monde, avec plus de 16 000 œuvres affichées. Il a attiré plus de 1,3 million de visiteurs dans les 142 jours où il était ouvert, soit environ quatre fois la population de Manchester à cette époque, dont beaucoup ont visité des excursions ferroviaires organisées. La sélection et l'affichage des œuvres d'art ont eu une influence formative sur les collections publiques d'art qui étaient en cours d'établissement au Royaume-Uni, comme la National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery et le Victoria and Albert Museum..
Medal signed PINCHES LONDON on the obverse. The Art Treasures of Great Britain was an exhibition of fine arts held in Manchester, England, from 5 May to 17 October 1857. It remains the largest art exhibition to be held in the United Kingdom, and possibly the world, with over 16,000 works on display. It attracted over 1.3 million visitors in the 142 days it was open, approximately four times the population of Manchester at the time, many of whom visited on organized railway excursions. The selection and display of the works of art had a formative influence on the public art collections that were being established in the United Kingdom, such as the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Historical background
GREAT-BRITAIN - VICTORIA
(20/06/1837-22/01/1901)
Victoria (1819-1901) was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, and granddaughter of George III. She succeeded her uncle Guillaume IV in 1837 and married her cousin Albert, Prince of Saxe-Coburg in 1840, against her mother's advice. She had nine children by him but became a widow in 1861. While respecting the rules of the parliamentary system, she tried to impose her views in the field of foreign affairs. Her favourite, Disraeli, had her given the title of Empress of India in 1876. Respected and loved, active and authoritarian, Victoria appeared in her time as the symbol of imperialist England. His reign marks the height of British power.
