Vijfentwintigjarig bestaan van de Hollandsche Maatschappij van Landbouw te 's-Gravenhage 1872

This bronze medal, created by Salomon de Vries in 1872, commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Dutch Society of Agriculture in The Hague. The obverse features a seated allegorical figure of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, holding a cornucopia overflowing with produce. The reverse showcases a wreath of agricultural bounty surrounding the inscription "25-jarig bestaan der Holl. Maatschappij van Landbouw 's Gravenhage 1847-1872". This medal, a small yet significant work of art, exemplifies the importance of agriculture in Dutch society during the 19th century.
