Above there is an Angel, represented with trumpet, flying towards the left, and bearing a large sroll with the words contained on the reverse of the York Club medal — "I HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP," &c.
This was Mr. Parkes' greatest work as a medallist. Dean Dawson said : "His large medallion of the late Duke of York is an evidence of his boldness and power in the art of die-sinking, for amongst all those of the Middle Ages I have scarcely seen one that exceeds it in relief, and it has this superiority over them, that while they were invariably cast this was raised out of the solid metal by the power of the screw." With this opinion few will disagree. I have a fine bronze impression which I obtained from Mr. Parkes. Size, 3·0.
