Medal I've been told about this Exhibition Medal awarded to William Fairbairn by Gordon Burns who wrote: Question "I have an interesting medal in my possession, and wondered if you could shed some light on it? On one side it has a laurel wreath with the name: 'Wm. Fairbairn Waverley Photo Exhibition' On the other side, is a winged angel-like figure over very old- looking camera equipment. Do you think this is an Edinburgh-based medal. It is made of bronze. Gordon Burns: December 5, 2010 |

Reply 1 "That sound like an Edinburgh-based medal to me. I expect it would have come from an exhibition held at the Waverley Market in Edinburgh. Here is a note about the exhibition held there in 1900, but that does not seem to be the one as I do not have William Fairbairn amongst the exhibition entrants that year. Waverley Market Exhibition - 1900 I don't know in which other years photographic exhibitions were held there." Peter Stubbs: December 5, 2010 |
