Gold Box presented with the Freedom of the City of London to Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, 1856. Creator: Unknown.

Gold Box presented with the Freedom of the City of London to Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, 1856. 'In the centre of the engraved subject or design on the lid is a monogram formed of the letters "E. L."; the second letter, reversed, representing an Anchor, supported by Victory and Fame, and surrounded by a naval trophy. The City arms are engraved in the front; and at the sides, and corners, and back, nautical emblems are introduced. At the bottom of the box are the Admiral's full arms, crest, supporters, and motto; with the Crimean medal and the different orders attached. The design, which is very characteristic, and the workmanship, reflect much credit upon the taste and judgment of Mr. Clarke, goldsmith and jeweller, King William-street, City, by whom the Box has bean manufactured'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
