Reward for good conduct, Halse Hall, Jamaica(
Visual
)
in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide
Two different copper medals, both intended to be given out on the Jamaican sugar plantation of Halse Hall, Clarendon, as rewards for good conduct. The obverse of each bears a bust of the geologist Henry Thomas de la Beche (1796-1855) who inherited the sugar estate from his father. The earlier medal of the two is signed by the celebrated Roman cameo cutter and engraver Tomasso Saulini (1793-1864). It most probably was produced in advance of 1823 when de la Beche visited Jamaica, spending a year on his estate. Although he supported slavery reform he was not in favor of abolition, publishing his thoughts in Notes on the present condition of the Negroes in Jamaica (London, 1825) after his return to England. The second medal, somewhat larger that the first, dates from 1841. The bust of Henry de la Beche on this medal was modelled by William Wyon (1795-1851), the prominent die-engraver and medallist, for many years chief engraver at the Royal Mint
