Wedgewood medallion of Captain Cook, 1779 or 1780
"The Wedgewood
medallion presented by Lady Leigh-Wood: This is a fine medallion, 10 1/4 in. by
7 1/4 in., in black oval frame and under convex glass; and Lady Wood wrote
saying that whilst the medallion was willed to her by her brother, Robert
Turnbull, she thought its proper place was the Alexander Turnbull Library, and
sent it out to New Zealand accordingly. It adds to the number of valuable Cook
relics already in the library."
