Watch List notes:

British Medals, Charles Gurnee Barrett, a large sculptural plaque, 1885, by M. B. Alder, perhaps a memorial, his bearded bust left, which (mostly) divides the inscription, CHARLES GURNEE / BARR - ETT / AN – No / DO – M / IN – I / M – DC / CC – LX / X – X / V, signed on scroll on left, below exergual line, 33 x 42.5cm., pierced at corners for wall mounting, the lettering in the Arts and Crafts style, much as made
The identity of the sitter is unclear; however, he is not the Charles G. Barrett who wrote 'The Lepidoptera of the British Islands'.
