Posthumous Awards
At the International Health Exhibition in London in 1884, The Gold Medal was awarded for the Jennings’ Pedestal Vase. In a test, its 2 gallon flush washed down ten apples of average diameter 1 ¼ inches, 1 flat sponge about 4 ½ inches in diameter, plumber’s smudge coated over the pan, and 4 pieces of paper adhering closely to the soiled surface.
Jennings also posthumously won for his firm, the Grand Prix at Paris in 1900, for his syphonic pan which had been a major development in lavatory design.

Famous quotes containing the word posthumous:
“Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
