Morris & Bolton, Ltd., 17 & 18 Tooks Court, Furnival Street, London EC, were "manufacturers of Printing Inks of every description for Box Makers, Bag Makers and Bookbinders". Their factory, the Eclipse Works, was in Carpenter's Road, Stratford E., London.

In his books, British Historical Medals, Laurence Brown notes a small size medal though only in bronze, and the larger (51mm) medal in all metals. Eimer notes that the "Fine Arts Summer Catalogue"(1909) of the exhibition mentions the award of this medal in a smaller (1-¼ ins) but no example has been noted.
