Description from the seller
Magnificent commemorative collection tankard in fine pewter, produced by The Franklin Mint / Médaillier Franklin in 1980 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the prestigious Royal Geographical Society of London, founded in 1830.
Model: The Royal Geographical Society Sesquicentennial Tankard – 1980
This remarkable collectible honors the greatest explorers in history and the expeditions that contributed to the discovery and understanding of the world.
Made in fine pewter, with high-relief sculpted decorations and a magnificent patinated finish, this tankard features several historically detailed scenes illustrating the exploits of four famous explorers:
James Cook, British navigator, during his expeditions to the South Pacific.
Roald Amundsen, Norwegian explorer, first man to reach the South Pole.
David Livingstone, famous explorer and missionary in Africa.
Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 1953.
The various compositions are enriched with terrestrial globes, navigational instruments, maps and ornamental motifs, evoking the history of great geographical discoveries.
The elegant sculpted handle, finely worked borders, and the contrast between patinated reliefs and satin metallic surfaces give this tankard a particularly refined and majestic presence.
The underside bears the original commemorative marking:
