EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a 17th-century gold medal awarded to Elias Ashmole, featuring a city view of Strahlsund. In the foreground, ships sail gracefully on the water, while above the city, an eagle holds a wreath symbolizing victory and honor.
Elias Ashmole, a celebrated English antiquary, politician, astrologer, and alchemy student, was honored with this prestigious medal for his contributions and achievements. The reverse side of the medal depicts Frederick III of Denmark and Frederick William Elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia.
The craftsmanship and artistry displayed in this medal are truly remarkable. The relief work brings to life the bustling cityscape of Strahlsund with its architectural marvels and bustling harbor. The inscription on the medal further adds to its historical significance as a token of distinction.
As we admire this exquisite piece from the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK, we are transported back in time to an era where such medals were symbols of recognition and respect. This print is not just a visual delight but also a reminder of how individuals like Elias Ashmole were honored for their exceptional talents and accomplishments.
