Counterstamp EB in a small cartouche on Liberty’s cap.The 1835 half dollar host coin is in VG condition. At one time, thisc/s was thought to be that of Ephraim Brasher (of doubloon fame.)However, that was mostly hopeful thinking. Today, the consensus isthat it is the mark of Ezekiel Burr, a silversmith from Providence,RI. He plied his trade there from about 1792 until 1825, when hebecame a grocer.It is reported that his young son continued the family jewelrybusiness and if, indeed this is the Burr hallmark, then it would havehad to come from the period when Ezekiel was no longer active inthe business.We say “if” because we have been unable to find an authenticatedEzekiel Burr hallmark that looks like this one. We did discover asimilar EB hallmark accepted as being from Burr, but the EB wasin script rather than in block letters and was in an oval cartoucheinstead of a rectangular one. Nonetheless, the example with blockletters from Stacks 2010 sale of the Anthony Terranova Collection(ex-Brunk) on an 1819 50¢ brought $1150.00.CIVIL WAR STORECARD TOKENSINDIANALot 2323. 500.

Military and Related Tokens and MedalsYORK above, VIA NORWICH below.According to Schenkman, David F. Waller appears in the BostonDirectories for 1852-54 through 1862, His name disappears fromthe directories in 1863. This, coupled with his statement that, “Ihave been unable to find any evidence that hard rubber tokens weremade prior to the Civil War,” leads us to conclude that the Wallerpiece rightfully belongs in a Civil War storecard collection.

The outer legend is inscribedwith the state mottos, ANIMIS OPIBUSQUE PARATI and DUMSPIRO SPERO. The raised scroll at bottom is hand engraved withthe name of WILLIAM BURRELL.The phrase quoted above comes from Rudyard Kipling’s poem,Recessional, which he composed on the occasion of Queen Victoria’sDiamond Jubilee in 1897. The original meaning of lest we forgetwas primarily religious but the phrase passed into common usageafter WWI and became a plea not to forget past sacrifices. Thispiece quite probably was made in connection with a ConfederateVeterans Reunion in the 1920’s period when the old timers beganto feel that the young folks were beginning to forget them. It is apoignant reminder of times past. (F)34. ARMY CIVIL WAR CAMPAIGN MEDAL. King 178. 32.8mm.Bronze. Looped at top and suspended by is original blue and grayribbon.

Military and Related Tokens and Medalsthis is a scroll inscribed SPECIMEN.The Aero Club of America was founded in 1905 to promote aviationin the United Stated. Soon after America’s entry into WWI, thismedallion was created to be awarded for valor and distinguishedservice by aviators. In 1923 the club was renamed The NationalAeronautic Association, which still exists today. We auctioned anawarded example of this medal in our 2004 Litman, Sullivan &Dreyfuss Sale for $632.50. (H)This is a rare medal which is not listed in Richard Planck’scomprehensive Second Revised Edition of State, County, City,and Organization Medals for World War One. The nude figurewith statuette and laurel branch was first used by Kitson on a 1903Massachusetts Institute of Technology Physical Training AwardMedal.The English born Kitson (1863-1947) moved to the United Statesas a young man and became a well-known regional sculptor in NewEngland. He was a member of the National Sculpture Society. He isknown to have done a fair number of busts and monuments, but iscredited with only three medals; a plaquette of Elizabeth SpragueCoolidge in 1938; the MIT medal and the medal offered here. It is ashame that his medallic production was so limited since he was anmedalist of obvious talent. We sold a similar named specimen in our2009 Sale #79 (#159) for $356.50.Lot 4141.

Washington, upon aspirited horse, points to the British fleet leaving the harbor bearingthe British forces who are evacuating Boston. In the lower middleground may be seen the American army drawn up on parade, anda battery of two cannons pointed at Boston City. The inscriptionabove may be translated as, “The enemy for the first time put toflight”, and in the exergue is the legend and date, “Boston retakenMarch 17, 1776.”As on all original strikings, there are four hooves under Washington’shorse’s belly, the O in PRIMO is perfectly round; there are periodsafter the Roman numerals and the last I of MARTII is under the Rof RECUPERATUM. The reverse die is clearly buckled and is mostevident in the area above Boston. In addition, and unnoticed byprevious writers, is the fact that the M in the Roman numeral date onthe reverse is clearly repunched. There is no repunching on any ofthe other letters in the date. Marc McDonald has confirmed that therepunching exists on very early die states of the bronze medal andJohn Adams has confirmed that it appears on his silver example.This medal was voted #2 in the Whitman listing of the 100 GreatestThe Fennimore book, which describes metalwork made from copperand its alloys in the Winterthur Museum collection, gets to thebottom of this issue, including an image from an early 19th centurytrade publication advertising this very piece.

Inscribed in large bold letters in the exergue is:THEODORE ROOSEVELT – AMERICAN.Theodore Roosevelt was the subject of a great many tokens, medalsand plaques, virtually all of which portrayed him in a head andshoulder motif. This standing representation of TR is a notable andpowerful departure from the norm and presents him as a figure,both dynamic and commanding, both traits that he exhibited inabundance.

HARRIS& CO. edgemark; the high wire rim trimmed down and a relativelydark patina. The “Unfinished” variety has no edge mark; a high wirerim and a distinctly orange-red patina. R. Harris & Co. did strikethe medals. The firm was a jewelry store in downtown Washingtonwhich was given the order for the medals. It engaged the KME firmto actually strike the medals which were advertised to the public for$1.00 in bronze and $5.00 in silver (struck to order.)MacNeil speculates that the R. Harris firm put an edgemark andpatina only on those medals that were sold, and that more werestruck than sold. However, since the Harris firm served only as asales agent and not as a manufacturer, it was KME that probablywas responsible for the two variations. MacNeil estimates that notmore than 200-300 medals of both varieties were struck. Perhaps thereason for this very small mintage is that committee members hadto purchase them rather than receiving them gratis, as had been thecustom.

In anewspaper account of the time, the medal was described as havingbeen commissioned “… by Archer N.

Finally, examination of theSociety’s medal sale book reveals the following notation for thismedal: “Not issued by this Society – and we disposed of 13 silverand 70 bronze copies”.The beauty of this piece was recognized long ago when theMedallic Art Company adopted it for their logo.

That medal was to receive near unanimouspraise.Despite Council’s reaction, some members of the MedalsCommittee were so pleased with the rejected design that 12 setsof uniface casts were ordered from the artist. To our knowledge,this is the first of that group to reach the auction block. (H-I)MEDALS AND BADGES OF THEAMERICAN NUMISMATIC ASSOCIATIONLot 272Bros. Mfg. Co. of Cincinnati. (I)Lot 271 (reduced)271.

In a report printed in October 1912 by the HeathMemorial Medal Committee it was stated 10 silver medals werereceived from Whitehead & Hoag and 10 were sold; 50 bronzemedals were received and 36 sold, and one given to H.R. Storerfor the Boston Medical Library; there was no mention of any goldstruck, received or sold. Neil N. Harris wrote in his serial work onANA Medals that there were four varieties of the Heath Medal,Bronze 4.7mm thick (ANA 10 SM 1), Sterling Silver 4.7mm thick(ANA 10. SM1A), Gold thickness unknown (ANA 10. SM 1B)and, Bronze 3.1mm thick (ANA 10. SM 1C). However in hisnotes in April 1970 page 497-498, Harris stated quantities areunknown but there were 31 known subscribers for SM 1 and 8for SM 1A. Regardless of which of these figures is correct, theHeath medal is an elusive one.

The Jefferson reverse set the design standardfor the Indian Peace Medal series – a crossed peace pipe andtomahawk above clasped hands with the inscription, PEACE/AND/ FRIENDSHIP. However this Jefferson medal is uniquein the series (1) because of its 100.4mm size and (2) because thewrist on the right bears a bracelet decorated with an eagle, ratherthan being plain as with the other medals in the series. Two-sidedmedals in this size rarely appear and so this is a rare opportunity toobtain a display piece for this rare reverse type.

It appears from the available evidencethat the medal was not awarded to every New York volunteer,but rather that it was issued to the officers who commanded theregiments which received the plaques. This is indicated by thevery limited numbers of these medals encountered. Further, theonly named example of the medal that has been encountered bythe author was named to a brevet major who was in command ofa regiment. Lastly, the authorizing statue does not call for a medalfor each individual solder, but rather that a ‘moment’ be presentedto each regiment.”Lot 312 (reduced)lines recording the presentation of the medal by the President ofthe United States and the resolution of Congress authorizing themedal within a wreath composed of oak and laurel.

Walkerstated that he “had a confidential equity from another Governmentdepartment, asking for a recommendation of a sculptor to doa commemorative medal to celebrate the visit of an importantforeign official to the United States….The work would have to bedone immediately as the visit will take place in May.” Manshipwrote three days later that he was free to do the work immediatelyand the fee would be $1,500 for the models.on March 9, 1949, Manship was contacted by the Department ofState, setting out the conditions of the commission. The designLot 323sketches were to be submitted no later than March 21! Furthermore,the approved, finished models needed to be delivered to the mintat Philadelphia before April 15 or the contract would be void.Sketches were sent on March 17, approved by the White House onMarch 23rd and photos of Dutra were finally sent to execute themedal.Manship sent the plaster models on April 5th, they were approvedand forwarded to Director Ross at the Mint ahead of the deadline..this is an extremely rare medal. The mintage figure was notknown to Prober (Catalogo das Medalhas da Republica), who ratedit as “RR”.

Its most salient difference is that there are a seriesof rays above the mountain in the left background. The reversesof both medals are the same. The New Haven medal was struckin silver, bronze and white metal. The bronze medal is scarce, butdoes turn up on occasion. The silver and white metal examplesare decidedly rare. As apparently elusive as these pieces are,it is curious that there were two obverse dies, one signed andone unsigned. Perhaps the original obverse die broke and C.C.Wright was unable or unwilling to execute a new die and otherarrangements were made to have it replaced. (F)85H

Corporation of the City of London MedalsCORPORATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON MEDALSBy Ken TraubThe City of London Corporation is an unusual elected municipal body which predateslocal government and Parliament, and whose primary charge is managing the squaremile historic business district center of London around St Paul’s Cathedral. The primaryreference for “City of London” medals is still Numismata Londinensia, Medals Struck bythe Corporation of London to Commemorate Important Municipal Events 1831 to 1893 byCharles Welch; London, 1894. [A 2011 reproduction paperback is available at Amazon.comfor $25.] More recently two references, British Historical Medals by Laurence Brown, andBritish Commemorative Medals and their values by Christopher Eimer provide excellentinformation as well. The best online source for photos and information can be found fromBenjamin Weiss’ collection at: http://www.historicalartmedals.com/TOC.htm (then click:England/City of London Medals). There were thirty medals issued between 1831 and1902, and only a few more during the later 20 th century. Most of the 19 th century medalswere of high relief, finely detailed, 3 inch copper-bronzed, and designed and executedby the Wyon family including Benjamin and his sons Joseph, Alfred and Allan. WilliamWyon, a cousin of Benjamin Wyon and Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint, also executedthe fifth issue, the 1837 “Visit of Queen Victoria to the Guildhall”. Other notable issuemedalists included Charles Wiener, George Adams, Anton Scharff, Frank Bowcher, andGeorge Frampton.This commemorative medal series is considered to be the most aesthetically pleasing andwell-executed one that exists, and this, combined with its scarcity, especially in choicecondition, makes it highly collectable. Typical mintages were usually 350 to 450 medals.Most of the medals were issued in lined and fitted leather boxes which were printed withinformation about the commemorated event. A small number were issued for presentationsas double medal boxes designed to simultaneously exhibit the obverse and reverse. Allof these boxes in good condition are even scarcer than the medals, especially the doubleboxes. My all-time favorite medal being offered here is the 1887 Commemoration of theJubilee of Queen Victoria in its original box of issue. The obverse shows the conjoinedbusts of Victoria from her 1837 coronation with her 1887 Jubilee portrait. The reverseshows the delightful fantasy of Britannia standing in a roman chariot being drawn by twoBritish lions, with Justice and Wisdom at her sides.Collecting these magnificent medals for close to 40 years has provided me with the greatenjoyment of the hunt, of learning the history of the period and commemorated events, aswell as the pleasure of many viewings, and of having been their historical custodian. Mayyou long admire and equally enjoy any medal you win in this auction.Ken Traub89H

Leading medalresearchers have concluded that the Louis XIV silver medals usedwith the Indians in North America of this design were of the small35 mm and a larger 41mm medal of this size dated 1693; in theearly 18 th century a medal of 41 mm seen in the Americas wouldhave been described as “large” and these rare versions are the onlyones seen which have remained in North America with hangersintact. David F. Fanning, in his article in the April 2010 MCAAdvisory discusses the 1696 Betts-76 medal and concludes itwas issued to commemorate the 1686 birth of Charles, Duke ofBerry, and that no evidence exists that medals of this date wereused with the Indians. Still, with the matching design and size,this medal is collected by Indian Peace medal collectors and theBetts-76 is much rarer than the 1693 dated Betts 75 medals of thissize and composition. As evidence of this, a similar example soldin the January 2009 John W.

In this treaty theFrench conceded the loss of the territories of the Hudson’s Baysound, Acadia and Newfoundland, and thus as a medal for theTreaty of Utrecht this medal relates to the Americas, and wouldstill be an unlisted “Betts” medal. However, this medal stillhas a shroud of mystery surrounding it needing further studyconsidering it is undated and unspecific in its designs, its closeties to the Honos et Virtus Indian Peace medal, and also that thecatalogue of punches in the Monetary Museum in France indicatesthis reverse was used with a different obverse as a Universal Artsprize (though no known examples of such a medal exist.)This medal featuring the obverse of Louis XIV and the originalHonos et Virtus reverse is extremely rare. For some curious reasonthe only three examples the cataloguer knows of are in the Americas;two of them are 19 th century restrikes: the Ford example and onein the National Collection of Canada (perhaps the one referred toby Morin and McLachan). There is also one known mule of thisreverse struck with a Louis XVI obverse, likely a 19 th restrike. Thisexample stands alone as the only known original strike.

R. W. McLachlan in the April 1884 AJN reportsthat one of these medals was found on the banks of the Ohio Riverin 1859 along with a George I Indian medal, and other Indianremains. The finding of both a George I and George II medaltogether might suggest that both were made close to each otherin date and perhaps location, which would place this medal closerto the 1727 end of George I’s reign and beginning of George II’sthan the later 1760 date.

The debate over identifying restrikes is unsettled (thoughsome are privy-marked as restrikes) Most believe the originals areon thin planchets with plain beveled edges but this has always beenbased on nothing more than conjecture.Warren Baker, perhaps the leading expert on these jetons,reexamined the basis for this belief. In his study of the John W.Adams Franco American jeton collection in the June 2011 MCAAdvisory, Baker correctly questioned prior dogma and concludedthat “There is, in my opinion really no way of determining, inmost cases, the contemporary or ‘true originals’”, and that “Idon’t make the determination that the thick piece is later than thatstruck on a thinner flan” He further goes on to say that “I believethat plain square edge pieces are original, though the same mayvary in weight.” This is perhaps due to the edging being done ina Castaing machine, but a Castaing machine can also be used tocreate an engrailed edge, so this part of the discussion has yet to beresolved. This example has a medium flan, with slight roundnessand some evidence of possible engrailing on the edges, but it couldsimply be wear. The condition is similar to Ford’s example (Lot464) that realized $1265.00 in 1986. Traditionalists may considerthis plain edge specimen an early 18th century restrike, but again,that debate has not been resolved definitively.Lot 372372.

The conflicts during the Seven Years Wardid extend, as inscribed by Victory on the reverse of the medal, tofour continents beyond North America to Europe, Africa (Senegal)and Asia (India). It was in many ways truly the First World War.However, Betts and others describing this medal have completelymissed the purpose of this medal. First and foremost, Betts - 427is a commemorative and memorial to George II and the 1760 dateon the medal refers to the King’s death, and not the victories of thatyear. The monument described as a “pedestal” and “pyramid” byBetts could represent a large memorial or crypt of George II withthe inscription being a gravestone; though George II was in factburied in the floor of Westminster Abbey with a simple inscriptionon the floor and no gravestone.The second meaning hidden within the reverse of the design isnearly as important and satirical; the bust of William Pitt the Elder,surrounded by the title of Dictator. With the king now elderly,William Pitt the Elder was controlling British war efforts anddecisions completely by 1758. After his death and the successionof the realm to his young grandson George III, there was a powerstruggle between Pitt (having acted according to this medal, asDictator) and the new King, a struggle Pitt was most certain tolose. On October 2, 1761, after being rebuked by George III forhis incursions into Germany during the Seven Years War, Pitt wasforced to resign.

DECLARATIONOF SENTIMENTS.The American Anti-Slavery Society was established by delegatesfrom similar state and local societies, including the Bostonorganization, which had been founded in January 1832 underthe leadership of the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison andwas the first such society in America. The group was militantin the fight against slavery. The members were regarded in theSouth as fanatics and it was not usual for their society meetingsto be broken forcefully. Many members of the group wereequally committed to women’s rights and number of womenrose to prominence in their ranks. This was the cause for no littledissension with the result that a dissident group, including someof the founders of the Society, broke away and formed anothergroup named the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society.Their political activities led to the formation of the Liberty Partyin the late 1840. The American Anti-Slavery Society operateduntil 1870, when the adoption of the 15th Amendment to the U.S.Constitution secured the right to vote for blacks.105H

It becameWoman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1867, and continuestoday as the Drexel University College of Medicine. In addition tobeing the school’s founder, he was its first president. The 1880 USCensus, identifies him as a “Prison Agent.” Before Mullen beganhis work at Philadelphia’s Moyamensing prison, inmates hadlengthy imprisonments without trial because police officials hadtrouble discovering evidence against them. Politically motivatedmagistrates committed individuals for indictable offenses withoutspecifying charges. His work also resulted in the investigation ofthose police who engaged in criminal activity, or violated the rightsof innocent citizens; they were held responsible for their actions.Mullen was a founder and director of the Philadelphia Societyfor the Employment and Instruction of the Poor and its House ofIndustry which gave the poor job training.

A COMPLETE SET OF THE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS OFTHE MEDALLION ART MEDALS IN BOOKS, 1909-1915.The Circle of Friends of the Medallion was formed in Manhattan in1909.

TheCircle issued twelve medals each in a limited edition of 500, someof them historical, others expressing abstract ideas. The medals,when issued, were housed in pasteboard holders in books whichalso included letterpress describing the theme of each medal andinformation about the sculptor who designed it. Stamped in goldon the cover of the twelve books is a portrait in medallic form ofPisanello, the Italian Renaissance sculptor who first developed thecommemorative medal from the coin. The series ended in 1915.Offered here is a complete set of 12 medals, each housed in itsoriginal book of issue.

This pure copper die shell is the reverse (some wouldsay obverse) of the Circle’s next to last issue made by Davison’s &Sons in Philadelphia. The sculptor-designer was British-AmericanJohn Frederick Mowbray-Clarke (1869-1953) who had alsocreated the Circle’s third issue of 12 medals. The Circle of Friendswas the first private series of medals in America (somewhat theforerunner of The Society of Medallists), promoted by CharlesLot 434 (reduced)DeKay and Robert Hewitt Jr. in New York City.They commissioned the Deitsch Brothers (forerunner of MedallicArt) also in NYC to strike the medals as they wrote the booksin which the medals were housed and convinced their wealthyfriends to subscribe. After striking the first two medals in theseries the Deitsches sold the dies and the rights to the series toDavison’s. Whether this pattern was made in NYC or Philadelphiais unknown, but it was placed on the Davison’s Janvier machine tocut the 23⁄4-inch die required to strike the medals. In all, Davison’sstruck nine issues before abandoning the series. Medallic Artfounders Henri and Felix Weil tried to reinstate the series for issuenumber 12, but subscriber attrition prohibited further issues. ArtistMowbray-Clarke’s British background was ideal to create thetheme of a centennial of British-American peaceful relations (fromthe signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814). But the symbolism oftwo nude male wrestlers (as England and America) may be lost tosome viewers. The opposite side is more symbolic with a Britishlion and American eagle flaking youthful female angel. (I+)Lot 435 (reduced)435. RALPH WALDO EMERSON GROLIER CLUB PLAQUE,

According the Harry Rand, “The Society of Medalistssecond issue produced an uproar, caused by the gentlest tempest inan otherwise occupied teacup. Manship’s 1930 salute to Bacchuspresented the god of wine and debauchery rather too attractivelyfor some of its viewers. Protests were received from members ofthe Society of Medalists and one member threatened to resign if‘any more insults to the Constitution are perpetrated in the nameof art’.” Manship stated, “So, on the reverse of the medal, twosatyrs are treading the winepress. Their stupid faces, pointed ears,goat legs and tails, betray the dominance of animal instincts whichtheir master Dionysus exemplifies. The medal is not conventional.It is subtly humorous, and is symbolic of a present-day attitudetoward certain restraints of the times. Thus it is commemorative ofan era.” This was the 2 nd issue of the Society of Medalists. (G)Lot 470470. HAIL TO DIONYSUS, 1930. Alexander SOM 2.2; Murtha 265;H136Lot 471 (reduced)471.

MILES, below the bust.“Miles” was General Nelson Miles, Commanding General of theU.S. Army, who coined the “embalmed beef” phase when, afterthe war, he complained to President McKinley about the suppliesthat had been procured for the Army. Miles’ complaint involveda scandal involving the purchase of some 7,000,000 pounds ofcanned roast beef intended for the troops in Cuba. The quantityorder was far in excess of the army’s needs and, what was worse,was that the soldiers detested it. In spite of this, the hated cannedbeef was regularly delivered to the trenches, and numerousoutfits got no other meat ration until after the fall of Santiago. Oneobserver commented, “The beef ration became a torture, as thefamished soldiers sickened. They were nauseated by the verysight of the contents of the tins. The could not choke the slimy redmess down, or could not keep it down, if they did.”Rare – only the second we have seen. There is a similar piece withan obverse bust of McKinley and the legend: WM.

VOTE THE LAND/ FREE has traditionallybeen described as the campaign slogan of the Free Soil Partywhich opposed the extension of slavery into the new states andterritories. However, Bob Merchant’s research has recentlyuncovered the source of this counterstamp and a new meaningto the phrase. Bob located the octagonal-shaped steel die punch,which reads “Vote the Land Free” at the Kansas Historical Society.The following statement appears at their website, “According tothe donor, this stamp was used by the National Reform Party toimpress the phrase “Vote the Land Free” on U. S. coins in the1840s. In 1844, the National Reform Association (NRA) wasorganized by George Henry Evans in New York City to lobbyCongress for free homesteads in the West. By marking coins, theNRA hoped to attract recognition. In 1848, NRA was absorbedinto other political movements, like the Free Soil and Abolitionists.The efforts of Evans led to the Homestead Act of 1862.” Voted#90 in Whitman’s listing of the 100 Greatest American Tokens andmedals.

At its height, it had over 1200 local branchesin the US and Canada. Total membership reached about 125,000,The Order functioned as an investment club. Each member wouldpay $300 into the group and within seven years was promised areturn of $1,000.In reality, it was a pyramid scheme in which members werepromised to get back their own contributions by persuadingothers to join, and over time the accumulated funds and lapsedmemberships would result in a total return to $1000. By 1892 theplan’s true nature was apparent. It was estimated that the Orderhad losses amounting to more than $100,000 and it dissolved in acloud of scandal. (D-E)1218.

Nothing was done with this idea until 1922 whenthe first medalet in this series was struck. It, and subsequent issues,were sold at the Mint for 25¢. Ernie Keusch has identified 17 differentin the series. It has become a favorite of some Assay Medal collectorsbecause all of the obverses and the reverses are reductions of portraitsand devices previously used in various Assay Commission medals.These medals should be distinguished from miniatures of the regularPresidential Series medals which exactly replicate obverse andreverse of their larger counterparts.They are considerably more common than those offered here.1263.

A New and Unique Achievementin Decorative Art for the Home. Everyone has an ideal; and most of ushave found in music, poetry, literature, science, or public affairs, someone or more of the world’s supreme figures - the “Immortals,” as theFrench so feelingly call them - whose work we love, whose lives andaccomplishments we desire to emulate, and whose features wevenerate. We feel the inspiration of their creations in our daily lives,we regard them as our oracles, we never pass their statues or see theirportraits without emotions of pleasure.In the Medallions of “The Immortals,” illustrated and described in thefollowing pages of this booklet, the opportunity is presented for all who sodesire, to add the authentic portrait - modeled in relief by amaster hand - of their favorite composer, poet, author or patriot,to the prized possessions of the home.These medallions are made from original documents, drawings andphotographs and are full face or three quarter view. They are all by theartist Jusko, a sculptor of remarkable skill, well-known both in Europeand America, who has brought to this work not only his wonderful ability,but also a faithfulness to form and a fidelity in execution that makeseach medallion an accurate and authentic portrait of the original.The medallions were made of “Corinthian bronze” (actually bronzedwhite metal) and were issued “solidly riveted to handsome solid walnutpanels.” They were made in three sizes; 13” mounted on a 16x19” panel($10.00); 7", mounted on a 9 1/2 x 12” panel ($5.00) , and 4" on a 6 1/2x 8 1/2" panel ($1.50) . The middle size was the most popular. Eldergrouped the portraits into three categories. Celebrated Musicians andComposers; Beethoven; Chopin; Liszt; Mendelssohn; Mozart; Schubert,Wagner & Weber. Poets; Authors, etc.; Bryant, Burns, Byron, Darwin,Dickens, Goethe, Holmes, Hugo, Longfellow, Lowell, Mark Twain, Milton,Poe, Schiller; Shakespeare, Tennyson, Voltaire, Walt Whitman, andWhittier. Presidents and Rulers; Grant, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt,Washington & Kaiser William II. The following four plaques are from theMusicians and Composers category.197H

None of the staff were paid.” He is knownto medal collectors primarily for his inauguration medal of FiorelloLaguardia and his Italian-American Medal to Italo Balbo.

Obverse bust to the left surrounded by the legend:NAPOLEON III EMPERUER 1859. The reverse is inscribed inraised script: BOIS DURCI.Writing in the American Numismatic Society Magazine, curatorRobert Wilson Hoge stated, “ Bois durci is a substance madeof powdered wood (normally either ebony or rosewood) mixedwith an adhesive compound—usually blood, originally, or eggwhite or gelatin. This mixture was then dried and ground to a fineconsistency; the resulting powder was then placed in a steel mouldand compressed in a powerful hydraulic press while being heatedby steam. The final product had a highly polished finish—typicallydark brown or black—imparted by the surface of the steel mould.Its “secret process” was patented by an artist named LePage, inParis, in 1855.”“These interesting items constitute an appealing series of Victoriandecorative arts objects (about 80 kinds are known) dating from thelate 1850s to the 1890s. Looking like medallions but being nonmetallic,bois durci pieces have not been necessarily classifiedas “numismatic” by scholars or collectors. The artists of theseworks are unknown, although they featured high-quality portraitsof personalities living and dead, and their creations would certainlybe considered as medallic sculptures in the art world of today.Unfortunately, as far as we have been able to determine, there areno examples of bois durci works in the ANS cabinet.” (F)1567.
