Very Rare Vintage Royal Geographic Society 12 Pewter Figurine Explorer Set NICE
They were made between 1979 and 1980 by the Franklin Mint and this is the only complete set left out there to be found. They were very well kept and appear to be flawless when displayed. The bottoms show a nice patina. They are between about 2.5 and 3 inches tall. They were made in commemoration of The Royal Geographical Society's 150th anniversary. Providing both the inspiration and resources for many of the most significant achievements, the Society issued this lasting tribute to the great explorers of history.

The fine pewter figures represent different lands, cultures and eras. All of the men challenged and conquered the unknown. They were envisioned and created by renowned sculptor Michael Rizzello of Great Britain, one of the masters in the art of portrait sculpture in miniature. He held the position of President of The Royal Society of British Sculptors. Each figure was sculpted with meticulous attention to detail and complete devotion to accuracy.

Each original work of art was created exclusively for this collection and each is individually hand finished and hand polished to bring out every detail of the artist's work. Each figure has his name on bottom, the insignia of the Royal Geographical Society and the year it was made. Here is a list of the explorers in this set and the associated year they were made: David Livingston 1979, Marco Polo 1979, Robert Scott 1980, Sir Francis Drake 1980, Samuel de Champlain 1979, Sir Richard Burton 1980, Alexander Von Humboldt 1980, Ferdinand Magellan 1980, James Cook 1979, Christopher Columbus 1979, Lord Hunt 1980, Richard E.
