HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Shield presented by his Majesty the Ring of Prussia
to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in comme-
moration of the baptism of the Infant Prince, for whom
his Majesty acted as sponsor.

The pictorial embellishments of the alaield, the general
plan for which was given by the King himself, were
designed by Dr. Peter Von Cornelius, and the archi-
tectural ornaments by Councillor Stuler. The execu-

tion of the remaining portions—goldsmiths' work,
enamel, &c., was performed by M. G. Hossauer; the
modelling by M. Fischer; the chasing by M. A. Mertous,
and the lapidary work by M. Calandrelli.
In the centre of the shield is a head of our Saviour.
The middle compartment, surrounded by a double line
of ornamental work, is divided by a cross into four
smaller compartments, which contain emblematic re-
presentations of the two sacraments, Baptism, and the
Lord's Supper, with their Old Testament types—the
opening of the fountain in the rock by Moses, and the
fall of manna. At the extremities of the arms of the
cross are represented the Evangelists, noting down
what they have seen and heard in the Gospels, which
are to communicate to all futurity the plan of man's
salvation, and prove inexhaustible sources of divine
revelation and doctrine.

On the extreme points of the arabesques that rise
übove the Evangelists are represented the Christian vir-
tues of Faith, Hope, and Charity, and of Christian
Righteousness. Around the entire centre stands in a
circle the twelve Apostles. Peter is seen under Faith,
represented in the arabesque; on the right end left of
him are Philip and Andrew; under Hope is James; on
either side are Bartholomew and Simon; John is placed
beneath the figure of Charity ; on either side are James
the Younger and Thomas; under Righteousness is Paul;
on the right; and left are Matthew and Judas Thaddeus,
going forth into the world to teach and to baptise, and to
propagate the kingdcm of the Redeemer.
The relieve) which runs round the edge of the shield
rt presents the betrayal, the redeeming atonement of
Christ, and his resurrection. Another portion repre-
sents our Lord's triumphant entry into Jerusalem; a
third portion the descent of the Holy Ghost, the preach-
ing of the Gospel, and the formaiion.of the Church.
The fourth and principal compartment contains an elle
gorical representation of the birth of the Prince of
Wales, and of the visit of the King of Prussia, accom-
panied by Baron Humboldt, General Von Natztner, and
the Count Von Stolberg, and welcomed by his Royal
Highness Prince Albert and the Duke of Wellington; a
knight of St. George being representeit
,bn the beach
standing upon a dragon.
