PREFACE
The present volume has been unduly delayed in publi-
cation owing to the war and post-war conditions.
I had hoped that two volumes of Supplement would suf-
fice for the new material, including indexes, lists of illus-
trations, etc., but my additional notes will necessitate a third
volume.
Among the friends who have so generously helped me
in the past, I deplore the loss by death of Dr R. H.
Storer, of Newport, R. I. (U. S. A.) and Mr William
J. Webster.
Within the last few years several fresh contributors
have from time to time sent me valuable information.
I would tender to them all my headiest thanks, and most
especially to Dr G. F. Hill, Keeper of coins, British Museum,
Mr. Robert Eidlitz, of New York, and Prof. C. A. Ossbahr,
of Stockholm.
I trust, that notwithstanding all its defects, the “Diction-
ary ” is proving of service and, that this new volume will
meet with the same kind reception as the six preceding
ones.
L. Forrer.

SUPPLEMENT.
A
A. Vide ARISTOXENOS infra.
A. A. A number of medals, thus signed, which have hitherto
been ascribed to Antonio Abbondio, have been shown to be the
work of another artist, possibly ALESSANDRO or AGOSTINO
ARDENTI, who worked in Lucca and Savoy : — Petrus Donella, of
Carpi; lead, 59 mill. (Rosenheim Coll11); — Agostino Ardenti of
Faenza ; lead, 53 mill. (Rosenheim Coll11); — Giulio Rossi;
61 mill. (Valton Coll"; Bibl. Nationale); — Guido Panziruolo;
7 5 X 6 1 mill. (Valton Coll11; Bibl. Nat.); — Antonio Fran. Doni,
of Florence, etc. Alessandro Ardenti, of Faenza, is known as a
painter. He died in 1595 in the service of the court of Savoy.
“ There exists”, says Mr G. F. Hill, “ a group of medals signed
/R representing Charles Emanuel and Emanuel Filibert of Savoy,
which have been without any reason attributed to Ruspagiari.
With these (on grounds of style) may be classed a medal of Pietro
L, Forrer. — Biographical Notices of Medallists. — VII.

Machiavelli of Lucca, which is signed AAR. All these medals, as
well as some others of Savoyan personages, signed /R, may possibly
belong to Alessandro Ardenti. If so, the group of medals by A. A.
cannot be by Alessandro. We would suggest that the signature
conceals the name of AGOSTINO ARDENTI, who was very probably
Alessandro’s brother”. (G. F. Hill, Some Italian Medals, Burlington
Magazine, xii, 142.)
AACH, JAKOB N. VON (. Austr .). Mint-engraver at Innsbruck, 1568.

ANICHINI, CALLISTO ( B.D . M., Vol. I, 1904, p, 57). Gem-engra-
ver at Ferrara, 1523-1527; was working in Venice, 1553.
ANICHINI, FRANCESCO DI L0RENZ0(J5. D. M., Vol. I. 1904, p. 58).
Gem-engraver at Ferrara, mentioned circa 1449-1526 ; his three sons,
Andrea, Callisto, and Luigi distinguished themselves also in the art.
Unfortunately none of the productions of these artists have come
down to us nor can any be traced to them. Francesco A. stood in
close relations with the famous patroness of art, Isabella d’Este, who
sometimes resented his spasmodical way of working, and calls him
in a letter “ homo molto fantastico et de suo cervello ”, although
in another letter she refers to him as “ il migliore maestro d’ltalia. ”
In 1492 he cut for the Marchesa of Mantua a Turquoise, a Ruby
and a Cameo, and in 1496 two other Turquoises with figures of
Victory and Orpheus. Leonardo da Vinci mentions this Master in
very eulogistic terms, 1502; so does Niccolo Liburnio of Venice,
1513, and the Ferrarese physician Brusasorci states that the engraver
cut a glowworm so cleverly in lapis lazuli that the natural gold
veins of the stone gave the appearance of the luminous spots on the
body of this little insect.
ANICHINI, LUIGI (. B . D.M., Vol. 1, 1904, p. 58). Gem-engraver at
Ferrara, but located at Venice. Pietro Aretino refers to him in 1 5 37 as
a youth, and he is said to have been born about 1520 in Venice, where
his father Francesco A. had settled in 1500. Until 1540 he owned
a house in Ferrara, and although residing in Venice, he appeared to
have been in friendly relations with the Duke of Ferrara, whom he
informed in a letter that he was entrusted by the Republic of Venice
to make two Regal crowns. Vasari praises him very highly, and
considers him inferior only to Alessandro Cesati. Cf. F. Malaguzzi-
Valeri, in Dr Thieme’s Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Kiinstlef/l,

ANTHONY, CHARLES (5. D. M., Vol. I, 1904^.60). Son of Derick
Anthony, and his successor as Chief-engraver at the Royal Mint,
London/* He was appointed”, states Mr. Hy. Symonds, by letters
patent of July 12,1599, authorizing him to make the coining irons for
England during his life. He was also to be cutter and engraver of
signets, badges, seals, shields, stamps, and royal arms. In 1601 John
Rutlinger was acting as under-graver, but retired temporarily in
favour of John Baptist van Landen, who continued to assist An-
thony until the end of the Queen’s life. About this date a sum of
£ 12 was disbursed for <c patternes, ponchions and workmanship”
for the pieces of 5 5. and 2;. 6 d., and £ 221 for making seals, &c.
(Exch. Accts) Cf. Hy. Symonds, Engravers of the Tudor and Stuart
Periods, Nutn. Chron., 1913, p. 359).
Mr. Symonds further adds : “ The accession of the Scottish King
found Charles Anthony and his last named assistant still in charge
o£ their department in the Tower. The chief graver, in addition to his
work in preparing dies for the new English coinage, received
warrants in 1603 and 1604 to make the dies for the Irish currency,
the portraits on which differ in some degree from those on the
larger series. The occurrence of several varieties of the king’s bust
on the English coins during the earlier years of the reign suggests
that Anthony was at first unable to satisfy the royal wishes with
regard to a likeness. John Rutlinger had now returned, and appa-

rently worked with John Baptist van Landen until the latter’s decease
or retirement in 1606. After that year, Rutlinger and John Dycker
were infcriores sculptores, with a salary of £ 40, until the former died
in 1609, when Dycker worked for about ten years without a junior
colleague. At a date shortly before Michaelmas, 1615, Charles
Anthony died, his will being registered inP.C.C., 105 Rudd.”
( [loc . cit., p. 360).
ANTHONY, DERICK (B. D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 60). “ Under the
date June 1, 1552, I find letters patent”, says Mr. Hy. Symonds,
“ addressed to Diric Anthony bestowing upon him, from
Michaelmas then last, the post at the Tower recently held by Robert
Pitt, deceased, with an annuity of € 30 during good pleasure. This
official was the first of three successive generations of the same
family, who controlled the graving house for a space of 67 years
in the aggregate, with credit to themselves, and gain to the art of
their country (Herald’s Visitation, London, 1567, Harl. Society).
— A somewhat difficult point now arises. Robert Pitt had appa-
rently died shortly before August, 1551, Anthony succeeded him at
Testoon of Philip and Mary.
Michaelmas in the same year, and the striking of Edward the Sixth’s
fine silver coinage was in progress during the autumn and early
winter, October to December, 1551. To whom ought we to attri-
bute the new designs ? A consideration of the dates seems to indi-
cate Pitt, but I am disposed to think that the dies were the handi-
work of his successor, Anthony.
“ Queen Mary made no change in the existing arrangements,
either before or after her marriage with Philip of Spain, so Derick
Anthony, with John Lawrence as under-graver, remained at the
Tower, and was responsible for all the English and Irish moneys,
as far as their types were concerned. ”

APOLLONIOS {B. D. M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 65). Gem-engraver of
the early Roman period. His signature occurs on two gems, one
showing a head ot King Asander of Pontus (B.C. 47-16), and the
other a very fine head of Artemis.
“Of Apollonios ”, says Mr. Duffield Osborne, Engraved Gems,
New York, 1912, p. 83, “as given on the strength of the portrait
head with the name, APOAAflN11, in the genitive, I cannot feel
that his identity as an artist is absolutely established as against the
owner hypothesis, though it seems probable. ”
A distinction has to be made between Apollonios, the Gem-
engraver of the Best Period, and the other Apollonios, the Graeco-
Roman artist, whose Artemis is signed, AnOAAHNIOY.

the Brothers de Witt at The Hague, 1672. From this fact we might
conclude that Aury may have resided ior some time in Holland in
1672. On his return to France, he executed a number of medals for
Louis XIV’. s cabinet. Among these, a Portrait-medal, signed AVRY
ET BERTHINET, with I )L. legend : Q.UAS condidit ervit arces ; —
Versailles Palace, 1687, etc.
This Medallist, whom Kramm calls AURY, is the author of the
large medal on the death of the brothers De Witt, which is known
under the name of “ het veelhoof dig gedrocht”. Kramm suggests
that the signature AURY designates the Sculptor P. XAVERY, who
did not wish to disclose his name in connection with the execution
of this medal.
By him is also a medal of Michel Letellier, the French Chancellor,
1679 (formerly in Mr. Moore’s Collection).

BAILY (not Bailey), EDWARD HODGES (Vol. I, 1904, p. 114),
1788-1867. Royal Academician, Fellow of the Royal Society,
Member of the Athenaeum Club and Hony Member of the Belgian
Academy of Fine Arts, was born at Bristol in 1788. His father had
designed for him a mercantile career, but the love of art was too
strong for the youth who spent his time modelling wax medallions
instead of attending to his duties at the desk. These portraits were
of such high quality that they attracted the notice of a local lover
of art, who gave young Baily an introduction to John Flaxman,
R.A., who at once saw the genius of the lad, took him into his
studio, giving him a salary that enabled him to take art seriously
by attending the Royal Academy Schools. He speedily progressed,
securing all the various prizes, with gold Medal ; and later on was
elected R.A. His exquisite talent for modelling gained him a great
reputation even while in Flaxman’s studio, so much so that Rundell
and Bridge, the great Court jewellers, secured his services at £ 1000
a year, with house, etc.
While thus employed he prepared in his own studio the celebrated
statue of “ Eve at the fountain”, purchased by the City of Bristol,
which is to be seen at the Clifton Art Academy. Not far from it is
a memorial bust placed by public subscription, executed by his
grandson (George Papworth). The statue of Eve raised Baily ’s repu-
tation to the highest pitch. Leaving Rundell and Bridge he started
on his own account. The greatness of the prosperity of Baily recon-
ciled his father, who had been greatly annoyed by his son rejecting
the supposed advantages of a mercantile life.
Baily was not known as a Medallist, beyond the production of the
model for the medal struck at the time of the wedding of Queen
Victoria, and his offer of a lovely design for the “ Turner Medal”
(struck by the Royal Academy and given to the most successful
student in Landscape painting). Baily’s design was not adopted. He
also executed a Portrait-medal of Flaxman.
Baily’s public works are to be found in all parts of the Empire,
Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul’s. He was
engaged with Sir R. Westmacott in the sculptural decorations of
Buckingham Palace, each sculptor having £ 30.000 for his share.
His private practice was great. His busts, ideal works, monumental
statues, and memorials were innumerable, many of them having

caused many hundreds of thousands of pounds to pass through his

“ It was prepared by gilding very thickly a plate of copper, and
then rolling it out to a proper thickness for the coin; the ductility
of the gold being such as always to preserve a uniform surface of
that metal, however thin, and to whatever extent it might be
requisite to roll the copper. Some objections having been started
to issuing gold pieces without subjecting them to the process prepa-
ratory to taking the specimens for the trial of the pix, it was
prepared to gratify collectors, who were anxious for perfect and
uninjured specimens, with impressions upon this kind of metal. ”
(Edw. Hawkins, Gold Coins of England, p. 175).
Proofs of the whole gold coinage of 1825 were struck in ‘ Bar-
ton's metal (Hawkins, Num. Chron., 1851, p. 175). Very few were
struck in gold of this date and these only with plain edges for
H. M. George IV. and some distinguished persons. Contrary to the
original intention of striking proofs in Barton’s metal only, collec-
tors were afterwards allowed to have proofs in gold of the coinage
of 1826. There are Crowns of 1825, Halfcrowns of 1824, and Shil-
lings of 1825 (including the rare pattern with fid. def.).
Barton’s process was used for proofs of coins in others countries. I
have seen such proofs of various French Patterns of 1848, of Napo-
leon Ill’s coinage by J . J . Barre, of George I’s coinage for Greece,
1877, by the same engraver, etc.
Sir John Barton was a great mechanist, and made buttons that
were subjected to this process of gilding, which were much sought
after, and to this day, buttons treated in this manner are known as
“Barton’s buttons”. He also invented ajfloating compass, an ato-
meter, etc.
He was a contemporary and great friend of William Wyon, and
it was probably under their joint direction that the proofs in Barton’s
metal were struck.
Sir John Barton was an early official of the Royal Mint, and was
Comptroller from 1816 to 1830 (when he retired), during which
time he resided at the Mint.
He was a great favourite of King William IV, bv whom he was
knighted.
Sir John Barton was born in 1771, and died in 1834. One of his
sons William Henry Barton, succeeded him as Deputy Comptroller
at the Mint in 1830; and his grandson Robert Barton, became
Deputy Master of the Melbourne Mint.

Leonard st., and later the Academy Schools (1896), where he won
the silver medal and €50 for figure-modelling, the Armitage award
and £ 30 for composition, and the Landseer scholarship ol £ 80.
In 1899 he was awarded the gold medal and £ 200 travelling
scholarship for a group of“ Aeneas carrying his father out of Troy”.
He visited Italy and Paris, receiving honourable mention at the
Paris Intern. Exposition.
Among his chief medallic works, which were exhibited at the
International Medallic Exhibition, New York, March 1910, are :
The storm ride; — White horses; — Sea nymphs; — The goal;
— The guns ; — Medallic portrait inscribed “ Janet Landelis
Mc Ewan ” ; — Medal presented to Captain Robert Falcon Scott
R.N., by the Royal Geographical Society; — Shackleton medal,
Royal Geographical Society; — Dean Hole, Memorial medal, etc.
He also designed the Edward VII. medal, known as the “King’s
Police Medal ”, to be awarded for acts of courage to members of
the Constabulary Forces and Fire Brigades in any part of the British
Dominions. The reverse shows a draped figure wearing a helmet,
emblematic of Protection from Danger ; in background, city walls.
On the accession of George V., Bayes prepared the designs for
the New Great Seals and Counter Seals for the United Kingdom,
with the exception of the Counter Seal of Scotland. The design of
the Great Seal of the United Kingdom closely approximates in char-
acter to the celebrated Bretigny Seal (1360-1369) of Edward III. The
engraving of the Counter Seal of Scotland was entrusted to Alexan-
der Kirkwood of Edinburgh.
BAYSE (or BASSE), HENRY {Brit.'). Mint-engraver, capitalis sculptor
ferrorum monete, appointed on November 5, 1544, and was allowed
an increase of £ 10 in his annuity by a second grant in April 1545.
“The under-graver, Robert Pitt, was installed in 1546, at a fee of
£10, and was soon joined by a colleague, of equal rank, named
John Lawrence. This trio, Basse, Pitt, and Lawrence, formed the
official staff during the remainder of Henry’s reign. There were, in
addition, two supernumeraries, Jerham and Frauncis Bennold,
employed by command of the king “ for the experiment of their
knowledge.” For a period of three months after 26 March, 1545,
they received meat, drink and pay at the rate of £ 40 per annum”.
(Hy. Symonds, English Engravers of the Tudor and Stuart Periods,
Num. Chron., 1913, p. 355).
Basse continued to work as Chief graver after Edward’s accession,
but it may be supposed that he was more engaged in adding to the
number of Henry’s dies than in preparing new irons for the young

became aged and weak, and that Pitt “ sustained thole travell of
the said service” which otherwise “ cold not have been done

“Le sculpteur Reinhold Begas est mort quelques jours apres la
celebration par toute l’Allemagne de son quatre-vingtieme anniver-
saire de naissance, a propos duquel l’empereur lui avait confere le
titre d’Excellence. C’etait, en eftet, le plus renomme des sculpteurs
officiels du nouvel Empire allemand. II etait ne a Berlin le 15 juillet
1831 et etait le second fils du celebre peintre d’histoire Karl Begas,
qui eut encore trois autres fils artistes. Apres avoir suivi, a 1’ Aca-
demic de Berlin, les cours de Wichmann et de Rauch, sous la direc-
tion duquel il executa un groupe important : Agar et Ismael, il alia
sejourner a Rome, de 1856 a 1859, avec Boecklin, Lenbach, Felbach,
et y subit fortement l’influence de Michel-Ange. Il y executa deux
de ses oeuvres les plus aimables : Pan consolant Psyche abandonnee,
et sa Famille de Faunes, devenue vite celebre et qui attira sur lui
l’attention du grand-due de Saxe-Weimar. Celui-ci l’appela a ensei-
gner dans l’Ecole qu’il venait de fonder a Weimar; il y professa
de i860 a 1862, puis retourna a Rome et enfin revint se fixer a
Berlin, apres avoir obtenu le prix pour l’execution d’une statue de
Schiller dans la capitale prussienne. Puis il donna a Cologne une

Venus consolant /’ Amour, Pan enseignant a line jeiine ftlle a jouer de la

il se consacra surtout a des oeuvres officielles etd’apparat, telles que
la Borussia de la salle des Gloires de l’Arsenal de Berlin, le grand
monument de l’empereur Guillaume Ier pres du Chateau royal, la
Germania a cheval qui couronne le nouveau Reichstag, etc. On lui
doit egalement la statue de Humboldt a l’Universite, et des bustes
de Bismarck, de Moltke, de Menzel, et autres, qui, par l’excellence
de 1’observation et la fermete d’execution, ne sont pas la moins

A coin illustrated by Mr. Howland Wood, The Coinage of the
West Indies, from whose monograph I extract these notes, is coun-
terstamped mva | 1812, so that it is probable that the New Orleans
piece was issued about this time or a little later. Some of these

Possibly the PB stamp was extensively counterfeited, and the issuers
of the genuine stamped Bad on all those pieces they could get
hold of.

Louise of Austria, Louise Marie of Parma and her son Robert ot
Bourbon (1854-1859). The Mint was closed in 1869, but Bentelli
held a Professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts of Parma to the
end of his life .
This artist distinguished himself greatly as an inventor of mechan-
ical appliances, in connection with the mint machinery as well as
other industrial enterprises.
Juillerat informs us that Bentelli was commissioned in 1844 to
execute the following medals : Erection of the new Penitentiary at
Parma ; — Institution of the Sisters of Charity at Parma ; — Street
of Borgo San Donnino di Bagni di Fabiano, etc., and among later

works I have noted : Marriage of Charles III. of Bourbon ; —
Cholera Epidemics at Parma, 1855; — Correggio; — Victor
Emmanuel II, 1861 ; - — Giuseppe Verdi, 1C72 (engraved at the
time of the composition of Aida) ; — Comm. Prof. Paolo Toschi,
director of the Parma Galleries and Schools of R. Academy of Fine
Arts ; — Robert I. and his mother the Regent Louise-Marie of
Bourbon ; — Romagnosi, etc .
Bentelli cut the dies for the coinage of Parma, issued during his
tenure of office (a collection of which exists in the R. Museo at
Parma). Among these I might notice Pattern 1, 3 and 5 Centesimi
in copper, with bust of Charles III., and sketches for 10 and
20 Centesimi in billon, Half, One and Five Lire in silver, and
Twenty Lire in gold, which on account of the tragic death ot
Charles III. were never coined.
In 1858 the engraver produced the 5 Lire Scudi of the youthful
Robert in conjunction with his mother the Regent Louise-Marie ot
Bourbon, of which only 470 specimens were issued. From Mint
Records we learn that in the same year Bentelli executed work for
the Turin Mint, and from i860 onwards he was entrusted with
various orders by the Bologna Mint, where he was invited to
accept the office of Engraver, an honour which he however declined.

BEYER (also PEYER), JUSTIN (also JOHANN DE) ( B . D. M.,
vol. I, 1904, p. 183). Ad. Flury in Schiu. Kstlr-Lex., Suppl. p. 33
gives further information concerning this Engraver. He was chris-
tened on 9. November 1671 in St. Peter’s Church, Basle; married
on 4. May 1696 to Elisabeth Baltier, by whom he had two daughters.
May have settled in Berne about 1699. In 1701 he cut dies for the
5 and 6 Ducat pieces; 1707 was entrusted with the issue of ‘Pre-
sentation’ or ‘Gnadenpfenninge’, after the designs of the painter
J. R. Huber. They were intended as a reward to the Venetian
resident Bianchi for his services in bringing about an alliance
between Zurich, Berne and Venice ; for this work he received on
4. August 1708 400 livres ( Haller , n° 744). For the dies of the
medal commemorating the Victories of Bremgarten and Vilmergen
(H., n° 99) the engraver was paid 234 livres. In 1716 he cut two
new medium and small State Seals, for 300 livres, and in 1717 the
large one, for 460 livres.
Justin de Beyer was also responsible for the dies of the episcopal
5 Batz pieces of Basle. Haller nos 1421, 1477, 1480, 1487, 1488,
1493, 1500, 1501 and 1502 testify to the artist’s activity after his
return from Berne to Basle ; they are all signed : D. B. or I. D. B.
The rare Double Thaler of Berne, dated 1728, and the large
commemorative medal of the Victories of Vilmergen and Bremgar-
ten are also by him.
The Berne Historical Museum preserves two seals signed D. B.
of Joh. Anthoni Tillier, and Franz Ludwig von Graffenried. There
are also line-engravings by him.
For his services De Beyer was appointed to the office of steward
of Gnadensthal Convent at Basle. He was buried in St. Peter’s on
17. November 1738. After his death, his wife and daughters returned
to Berne.

BOHM, JOSEF DANIEL (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 203).
Dr Wilhelm Engelmann’s monograph on this artist in Mittheilungen
der Oester. Gesellschaft fur Miin^-u. Medaillenkunde, 1912 gives full
details of his artistic career and an exhaustive list of his productions,
from which the following notes are culled.
J. D. Bohm was born on 16. March 1794 at Wallendorf in
Hungary; he lost his father at the age of seven, when he was sent
as an apprentice to a merchant of the small town of Iglo. There he
spent several years, and occupied his leisure hours in wood carving.
His dexterity in that art attracted the notice of his friends, who
sent him in the spring of 1812 to the painter Zausing at Leutschau
as a draughtsman. What he heard there of the treasures of art
^reserved in Vienna increased his desire to visit the capital, and
before long he was enabled to fulfil his ambition and enter the
Academy in Vienna, to study there painting under Ftiger and
sculpture under Zauner. The youth’s resources were however soon
spent, and to earn his livmg he turned to' his hobby of earlier years,
carving cherry stones. Count Moritz Fries purchased a necklace
made of these, and became his patron. At the Academy Bohm
learned die-cutting and gem-engraving. About 1816 he was

entrusted with the cutting of a seal for Prince Metternich and
another for the Emperor Francis. Fie then modelled a Portrait-
medallion of Franz Rechberger, who became later the Director of
the Albertina. From seal-engraving the young artist turned to die-
cutting for medals. His first production in that branch was a uniface
Portrait-medallion in high reliet of the Court actor Siegfried
Gotthilf Eckhardt, known as Koch. This was followed by a memo-
rial medal of the famous botanist Nikolaus Josef Freiherr von
Jacquin, 1817. This medal won for him the Reichel Prize of the
Academy, and brought him to the notice of Count Anton Lamberg,
under whose protection Bohm undertook a journey to Italy, in
1821. In Rome he came in contact with Cerbara, and embraced the
Roman Catholic faith. On his return to Vienna, fortune continued
to smile upon him, and he was favoured with orders, engraved
gems, reliefs, portraits in Kelheim stone, etc. The Archduke John
commissioned him to execute a number of statues and groups of
the princely members of the Habsburg family. Count Rudolf
Czernin entrusted him with the cutting of the dies for the fine Prize
medal of the Academy of painting, on the reverse of which the
artist gave a representation of the Discobolus in the Vatican. About
the same time (1823) he also engraved a Prize medal of the
Agricultural Society of Vienna.
Italian influence is also marked on Bohm’s next medals, consist-
ing of portraits of Italian singers who at the time were exciting
public enthusiasm in Vienna, Giovanni Davides, Luigi Lablache,
Giuseppina Fodor, and Angelica Catalani, and medals of the Sicilian
poet Thomas Gargallo, and Prince Karl Schwarzenberg, 1824 or
1825.
Bohm was married in 1823 to Aloisia Lussmann, of Laxenburg.
Two years later he went again to Rome, as a pensioner of the
Vienna Academy, for a term of four years, during which time he
became acquainted with Overbeck, Thorwaldsen, for whom he
cut many cameos, and all the best artists of the time, gaining expe-
rience and practice, especially in the art of medal-engraving.
In 1829 he returned to Vienna. 1830 he was commissioned to
cut the Hungarian Coronation medal of King Ferdinand; — 50
years’ Jubilee of the University of Pest (with portrait of the
emperor); — 1831. Portrait-medal of Anton Freiherr v. Baldacci,
on his Jubilee ; — Cast medal of Giuseppe de’ Acerbi, Austrian
consul general in Egypt. In this same year, Bohm was appointed
Medallist to the Court in appreciation of his skill and talent ; —
1832. Prize Medal of the Medical-Chirurgical Josefinum Academy;
— Congress of Naturalists in Vienna ; — Enthronement of Count
Ferdinand Maria Chotek as Prince- Archbishop of Olmtitz; — 1834.

the Austrian court; — Joh. Jakob Geym tiller, banker. From 1835
Bohm was engaged at the Vienna Mint, and had to prepare in that
year many dies for the new currency of Ferdinand I. In competition
with other artists he obtained the first Prize for a Two Gulden
piece. In 1836 he was appointed Director of the c Miinzgraveur-
Akademie’at the Mint. In 1839 his wife died, whose memory

BOETE, AMAURY (Flem.). Mint-master atVilvorde, 1358 (?)- 1371.
BOETHOS ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 205). From Dtitheld’s,
Engraved Gems, p. 89, I quote the following : “ Furtwangler places
Boethos in the Hellenistic age, on the strength of the cameo show-
ing Philoktetes fanning his wounded leg and signed, BOHOOV. Gem
and signature are unquestionably genuine. Pausanias, Cicero and
Pliny all tell of a Boethos who seems to have been a native of
Chalkedon and was a famous silver-chaser early in the third cen-
tury B.C. They do not speak of him as engraving gems, but that
he did such work, too, is a reasonable supposition, especially if the
report be accurate of the bronze Herm of Dionysos, signed by
him, recently found in the sunken galley which the “ French have
discovered off the coast of Tunis ”.

1537, and appointed Mint-master on 8. January 1546. From
28. January 1547 the Lombard Alessandio Cesati is said to have
been entrusted with the cutting of the coin-dies . After Paul Ill’s
death, Cardinal Farnese became Bonzagni’s great patron. 1551-52
several payments are recorded against his name for plate, medals,
and seals supplied to the Papal See. Pope Julius III, about 1552,
appointed him to the distinguished and highly remunerative office
of Maker of the leaden bullae, to which was attached the mem-
bership of the Cistercian Order (hence surname : Fra Gian Gia-
como del Biomho). In his work for the Papal Zecca, he was assisted
from about 1554 by his younger brother, Gian Federigo B. Soon
after the death of another brother (Gabriele B., who was murdered
in Rome some time before 1564), Gian Giacomo B. died, accord-
ing to Zanetti, on 10 January 1565, leaving one natural son,
Gianfrancesco B.
Bertolotti ascribes to Gian Giacomo B., on the ground of a
document of 14. January 1551, seven medals of Pope Julius III,
with Jubilee Gate (commemorating the Jubilee year 155 °)»
and Giordani a medal of Pope Julius III. and Julia Vigna.

BRASHER, EPHRAIM ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 268). From the
Proceedings of the American Numismatic Society, 1914, p. xxxiv,
we cull the following details :
“ Brasher is said to have been a gold-and silversmith, and pro-
bably a resident of New York; his name appears in the New York
City Directory for 1787 as a silversmith at No. 1 Cherry Street. He
may perhaps have been a relative of Abraham Brasher, a colonel in
a New York regiment during the Revolutionary War, and somewhat
known by his songs and popular ballads. As to this, however, we
are not certainly informed. He was employed by the authorities of
the United States Mint in 1792 to make assays for the mint, ‘on
sundry coins of gold and silver, pursuant to instructions from the
then Secretary of the Treasury (Alexander Hamilton)’. What those
coins were it cannot now be definitely ascertained, but possibly he
may have assisted David Ott, whose assay, in November, 1792, is
on record. This was an examination of ‘ French Guineas and Double-
Guineas’, so-called, and of English Guineas, Spanish Pistoles, and
Half Johannes of Portugal, of various dates, in gold, and of English
and French Crowns, English Shillings, and Spanish Dollars, in
silver; for work of this kind Brasher seems to have been well
adapted. He appears, however, to have been unsuccessful in busi-
ness, and to have made an assignment to one John Shield.
“ A most noteworthy discovery during the present year (1914)
has been made by Mr. Waldo Newcomer, of Baltimore, Md., and
one which raises many interesting questions regarding the early
coinage of the United States. Mr Newcomer recently obtained a
number of early Spanish and other foreign gold coins from a lady,
who informed him that they had been accumulated many years
ago. Among these coins was what purported to be a golden ounce
or eight-escudo piece of Spanish issue, dated 1742. On the obverse
of the piece, around the border reads what seems to be philip v . d .
g. h.rex.ano 17(00, or 08). In the centre of the field, which is
surrounded by a large circle of pearls, are two columns, representing
the pillars of Hercules, each of which is surmounted by a fleur de
lis. Above is a flowered ornament. In three lines, running across
the columns, is the inscription l.8.v. | p.v.a. ) 7.4.2. Below
the columns are four lines representing waves of the sea, and below
these is the word BRASHER. Still further below, between d.g. and
h. of inscription, are the letters n.y. The reverse shows a cross of
Jerusalem, quartered with castles and lions. In the centre of the field
is counter-stamped eb. Around the border is inscribed hispaniarum
et ind rex. The piece weighs 409 § grains.

ic From a careful examination, it is certain that the whole coin
design was entirely fabricated outside of any authorized Spanish
mint, and the stamp of brasher n-y. mast have appeared in the
original die, although the counterstamp eb was added after the
piece had been struck, and seems to be exactly like the stamps ot
this assayer which have been examined on the vaiious Brasher
doubloons and other gold coins, usually of Spanish or Portuguese
origin, which have appeared from time to time.
“ One of the first questions raised by the discovery of this coin
is, did Ephraim Brasher, the famous coiner of the New York doub-
loon, operate a private mint in New York, at which he struck
golden doubloons from dies made at his establishment ?
“We are all very well acquainted with the famous New York
doubloon, which is of entirely original design, and which relates
only to NewT York. In the past it has been thought by some that
the weight of this latter piece, which ranges from 406 1 to 411
and a fraction grains, was reason enough to entitle it to be called a
doubloon. Others have thought, as it was wTell known that Brasher
had petitioned the New York legislature in 1787 for the privilege
of coining New York cents, the design of the so-called doubloon
had really been intended for this proposed cent, and that the
striking of these pieces in gold had no special significance, although
the same design has never been discovered in copper or other base
metal.
“ Now, the discovery of this piece above described would seem
to bear out the argument of those who have called the New York
piece a doubloon, and that the weight was not a coincidence, but
rather was created by design .
“So far no information has come to our attention that Brasher
ever manufactured doubloons of any kind on his own account, or
that he had a private mint, but the existence of the piece just come
to light would point to that conclusion.
“ It is an undoubted fact that private persons, during the latter
part of the nineteenth century did operate private mints in Baltimore
and elsewhere. We have as authority for this statement the follow-
ing extract from a letter written by Henry William De Saussure,
Director of the United States Mint, dated Oct. 27, 1 79 5 : ‘I under-
stand that none of the laws of Congress have provided any penalties
for the various offences which may be committed against the
coinage. In most countries strict laws are enacted, prohibiting the
interference of individuals in this attribute of the sovereignty ; and,
in some, the very possession of dies or presses, or other implements
essential in the coinage is made criminal. In this country mints
are said to be boldly erected at Baltimore and elsewhere, pro-
fessedly to imitate the coins of foreign countries and to furnish a

debased gold coin for the West India markets ; and so much of the
gold bullion which would be brought to the national mint is carried
to these private establishments, which degrade our national charac-
ter ’• (A. J.N., 1892, July, p. 13).
“ It is not unlikely that the gold coins now known which show
the counter-stamp of eb, were some of the coins which Brasher
assayed and stamped at the instance of the Secretary of the Treasury.
This is somewhat supported by the fact that at the Zabriskie sale
was catalogued a half Joe of Portugal, Joseph I, 1766, in the centre
of which was a plug bearing the counterstamp of eb, the same as
used on the New York doubloon. Evidently the insertion of this
plug of gold was required to bring it up to its proper value. Then
again, Mr. Newcomer has a piece in his collection, of the same
denomination, but dated 1754, also bearing the eb coujiterstamp
on an inserted plug of gold”. (. A.J.N. , xlviii, xxxiii-v).

BRENNER, VICTOR DAVID ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 277). This
artist was bora at Shavly, a small town in the province of Kovno,
Russia, on 12. June, 1871. He began his artistic career as a Seal-
maker in his native town, but emigrated in 1890 to New York.
There he found work as a Die-cutter and Engraver of badges. cc He
prospered from the start”, says a writer in Current Opinion (New
York Magazine) for January, 1916, p. 50, cc soon helping the
other members of his family to go to the newT world.
“ Brenner’s design of a head of Beethoven for a musical society
attracted the attention of Prof. CEttinger of New York City College,
through whom he was introduced to the coin collections of the
American Numismatic Society.
“ In 1898, the artist was able, on the proceeds of four years’ work,
to go to Paris for three years’ study at the Academie Julian. It
was during this time that I had the pleasure of making his acquain-
tance and corresponding with him. Under the influence of Roty
and Rodin his art visibly improved. He exhibited at the Paris Expo-
sition and Salon, 1900, Buffalo Exhibition 190 r, St. Louis 1904,

receiving awards from each. In 1906 he returned to New York,
setting up there as a Sculptor and Medallist.
“He threw himself at once into the battle then being waged by
the Numismatic Society for better American coins. Mr. Kellogg
explains some of the events of this movement :
“ Even the conservative British were eclipsing the United States

in this direction. The movement met with a hearty response from
President Roosevelt. In 1908, Brenner was chosen to design the
Panama medal which has since been given to every workman who
puts in two consecutive years on the canal. Among his earlier pieces
of work had been the execution of a series of modern coins for the
Republic of San Domingo. President Roosevelt was struck with

the possibility of making use of his Lincoln as the first step in
reforming the face of the U . S . A . coinage. The question lay between
the Half-dollar and the Cent; and choice fell on the latter, both
because for sixty-five years there had been no change in the copper
coins with their rather impossible Indian heads; and because the
smaller the coin the more people who would thumb it over. St.

Gaudens had already wrought his beautiful Ten and Twenty-dollar
gold pieces for the United States ; but the circulation of such deno-
minations was so restricted that the movement had stopped there.
The Lincoln head was, of course, the main element in the new
pocket piece ; but it represented also the modern tendencies in sim-
plified decoration. It is not overloaded and introduces the hollow
surfaces used in the beautiful French pieces.

“The modelling of the new One-cent piece in 1909 was to
Brenner other than a chance government commission. He had
learned that the common coins of a people may become the spreaders
of a sense of what is true in line and contour and proportion —
more readily than paintings or statuary, the scattered forms of archi-
tecture, more widespread even than the photograph or the moving
picture, and more responsive to the moulding influence of the
artist ” (Joe. cit., p. 51)-
“But the designing of coins is in reality but a small part of the
work of this craftsman and sculptor. In the words of Mr. Kellogg,
Victor Brenner has shown his mastery of portraiture in bas-relief in
his heads of : “ Hay the diplomat ; Emerson the philosopher ; Evarts
the lawyer, with his deep inseeing eyes ; Huntington the railroad
builder, who spanned mountain and desert, with eyes and back-
ground giving a curious effect of a searchlight of a locomotive ;
Swasey, the telescope builder, whose lenses pierced the farthest
heavens ; and a score of others. ” In the fountain memorial to the
donor of Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, which was unveiled during
the present year, Brenner has treated the mythological subject
of Pan in a classic spirit — “ a gay unspoiled conception kindred to
the effrontery with which some little natural park breaks into our
tamed and deadening city landscape. ”
Brenner’s work is represented in the Paris Mint ; Munich Glyptotek;
Vienna Numismatic Society; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York; and American Numismatic Society; Luxembourg Museum,
Paris; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He is a member of the Amer-
ican Numismatic Society, National Sculpture Society, etc. He took
part in the discussions at the Brussels International Numismatic
Congress, 1910.

Walter G. Strickland, A Dictionary of Irish Artists, Dublin and
London, 1913, gives the following notes on James Brush : —
“Two medals struck in Dublin and signed “Brush” are known.
These are, 1st “The Orange Society Medal”, an oval with ring
for suspension ; obverse, King William on horseback, within a
border of flowers ; on a scroll above, “The glorious Memory”,
and underneath, “ King and Constitution”. On reverse, a sword
and sceptre crossed, and a crown, with a wreath of leaves and
lilies; on a scroll, “God save the King”. Signed in small letters
Brush. 2nd “The Battle of Collooney ” ; struck in silver, to comme-
morate the engagement between the Limerick Militia under Colonel
Vereker and the French under General Humbert. Obverse, the
Arms of Limerick and inscription, “ Corporation and citizens of
Limerick”. Reverse, a Royal crown with olive wreaths, inscribed,
“ To the Heroes of Collooney, 5 th Sepr., 1798 ”, and signed Brush.
“ James Brush, who issued these medals, was enrolled as a
quarter-brother of the Goldsmiths’ Corporation in Dublin in 1771,
and afterwards carried on the business of a jeweller, to which he
added that of a wine merchant, at No. 7 St. Andrew Street. In an
advertisement which appeared in the “Dublin Chronicle” in
January and February 1789, he says: — “In the seal line he pre-
sumes to say that no person in this city can equal him for neatness
and durability of the settings. He has engaged an eminent seal-
engraver from London, specimens of whose work are ready for
inspection ; among them is a striking likeness of Mr. Grattan”. The
two medals described above are poor specimens of medallic art,
though bearing Brush’s name, were no doubt executed by some
die-sinker in his employment. A Dublin Society Medal, oval, with
loop for suspension, bearing a seated figure of Minerva and dated
1 79 3 , was probably also issued by Brush. His name does not occur
after 1798”.
BRUTT, ADOLF (Germ.). Contemporary Sculptor in Berlin. He
signed a Portrait-plaquette of Wilhelm Martens, architect, and wife,
undated; and another of Eugen Petersen, archaeologist, undated

There were two Engravers of that name. The father signed a
number of medals H I B. The productions thus signed, dated after
1682, must be ascribed to his son, of the same name, who was born
at Zurich on 23 . July 1650, and died there on 15. June 1724. At
the National Exhibition in Zurich, 1883, a silver-gilt cup supported
by a lion, by H.J. Bullinger senr, and dated 1674, was shown as
a specimen of his work .
The son was Mint-engraver and Mint-master at Zurich for a
number of years. He cut the dies for the so-called Rathausthaler of
1698 signed H I B, and by him is a large Prize Medal and many
School, Marriage, Presentation and Commemorative medals, some

engraver to the Duke of York and Kings of England and Poland ;
1794-1812 as librarian to the R. Academy. He "was awarded Pre-
miums of the Society of Arts in 1762, 1763 and 1765 for gem-
engraving. “As a Gem-engraver he was unrivalled in his day”
(Redgrave). Dalton, Cat. of Engraved Gems in the British Museum,
says that Burch flourished about 1770, that he was an Engraver of
great merit, attaining a remarkable finish without degenerating into
mere prettiness. His gems include classical subjects, ancient and
contemporary portraits, and some religious motives. Nathaniel
Marchant was his most successful pupil.
There are two signed intaglios by Burch in the British Museum :
Chalcedony, Bust of an old man, with full beard, three quarter face
(BVRCH R. A.) ; — Sard, Head of a young woman to r., the hair
dressed in classical style (BURCH F.).
A St. George and the Dragon on sardonyx evidences Burch’s skill
in cutting cameos, and heads of Hercules and Ganymede are the
best known of his intaglios (DufBeld, Engraved Gems, p. 188).
Raspe in his Catalogue of Tassie’s gems describes the following pro-
ductions of this clever Engraver : Half-length figure ol Harpocrates,
carnelian ; — Saturn, carnelian (signed : BURCH F.) ; — Another
variety (signed : BURCH FEC.) ; — Head of Jupiter Axur, sardonyx

to Prague in 1765 for a short stay, whence he went to Vienna
to study at the Academy. In 1770 he was attracted to Paris by the
fame of the engraver Legois. There he changed his name into Bour-
det, and gained notoriety in high and low relief, being much
sought after by the Royal family, and the nobility of France. He
however returned to Prague in 1774 where he remained until his
death in 1817. He cut dies for numerous medals, personal and com-
memorative, and also a medal for the R. Bohem. Society of Sciences.

them.
BURGER, SAMUEL {B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 312). Descended
from a family of Goldsmiths and Engravers ; his uncle and three
brothers distinguished themselves in the art. He was born at Brugg
(Aargau), but settled at Berne, where he was employed at the Mint,
and engraved a number of coin-dies, among which a Sechzehener-
pfennig of the City and Republic of Berne. Among his medals, the
best known is that of the e Inselspital’ ; obv. Jugate busts of Mechtild
von Seedort 1286 and Anna Seiler 1354 ; rev. view of the Hospital,
MDCCxvm, and one of the Ossuary of Morat, 1821 .

CADES, ALESSANDRO (. B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 325). An Italian
Gem-engraver, born in 1734 at Rome, died on 22. July 1809. His
brother, TOMMASO CADES, also practised the art and had still in
1850 a shop in the Corso where he sold cameos, mosaics, and
similar articles. Alessandro Cades worked in the style of Joh. Pichler,
and was very much appreciated in his time. Goethe in his biography
of Hackert mentions that he owned gems by Cades. Cf. F. Noack,
in Dr Thieme’s Allgem. Kiinstler-Lexikon. With Rega and Odelli,
he is said to have been concerned in the production of the Ponia-
towski gems. A specimen of his work is in the British Museum :
N° 100. Onyx : Cupid and Psyche : signed CADES.

Osborne, p. 19 1, after mentioning the names of Ginganelli,
Dies, Odelli and Tomaso Cades, who were the principal perpetrators
of the Poniatowski gems, adds some interesting notes concerning
these. “ Prince Poniatowski’s part in this remarkable performance has
never been satisfactorily explained. He had inherited from his uncle,
Stanislaus, the last king of Poland, a collection of one hundred
and fifty-four gems, most of them of undoubted antiquity and
including many of the most important examples, like the female
head by Dioskourides, then held to be an Io. To these he added
nearly three thousand more which were made at his order by the
Roman gem-cutters, the subjects being their own or the Prince’s
conceptions of pictures from classic history and mythology, done
on oriental sards, amethysts and crystals of fine quality and, for the
most part, considerable size. There is absolutely no suggestion of
antiquity in the melodramatic flamboyancy of these compositions,
many of them involving a number of figures, and the supposition
that the Prince was himself deceived by the artists is inconceivable.

“ r44 —
The fact that he never tried to sell any of the gems would seem to
negative the supposition that he himself sought to profit by the
fraud, and the motive which King advances that, being deeply inte-
rested in the glyptic art, he wished to encourage its professors and
to prove them competent to rival the ancients seems to me to be
hardly tenable in the face of the fact that to Odelli was assigned
the province of providing every gem with the forged signature of
some real or imaginary artist of antiquity. Altogether the whole
performance carries us beyond the realm of any reasonable line of
explanation and one is driven to take refuge in a suspicion that
Prince Poniatowski had simply become an unbalanced monomaniac
on the subject. He died at Florence in 1833, and the collection was
sold in London in 1839, when such was the effect of the scandal
that even the wonderful Io, discredited by the bad company into
which she had fallen, was knocked down fori. 17. A few years
before £ 1000 would have been a low price for her.”

CANDIDA, GIOVANNI ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 334). Further
notes on this remarkable medallist will be found in Dr Thieme’s
Allgem. Kiinster-Lexikon, v, 495.
Among the medals which may be ascribed to him with the greatest
degree of certainty are : Antonio Graziadei, signed CANDID; pro-
bably before 1475; — Juan de Palo mar, Neapolitan ambassador to

Perriers ; — Pierre de Sacierges; — Pierre Briconnet; — Thomas
Bohier; — Francois de Valois (1504); — Louise de Valois and her

Sculptor, Medallist, and Gem-engraver, born at Zabern (Alsace) on
27. March 1862. He began his artistic career as a Gem-engraver
under Lequien ; then he worked as a wood carver, and from 1889
he has devoted himself almost exclusively to sculpture, but has
occasionally modelled Plaquettes and Medals.
CARADOSSO (AMBROGIO FOPPA) (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 345).
To this Engraver, Dr Bode ascribes the following Plaquettes : The
Scourging of Christ; 71 X 54 mill. ; — Silenus beaten by Bacchants;
50 X 50 mill. ; — Fight between Centaurs and Lapithae ; 50 X
50 mill.; — Rape of Ganymede; 49 X 50 mill.; — Men bathing;

45 mill.; — Another, 60 X 37 mill.; — Two Centaurs: 6 5 X 194
mill.; — Gorgon’s head, facing; 64 X 101 mill.; — Bacchante

of coins, which Caradosso is said to have engraved for Julius II. and
Leo X. ; but no documents have been found to prove his activity at
the Papal Mint, nor do any of the Papal coins show any connection

with the Milanese coins which are ascribed to him, Testoni with
portraits of Gian Galeazzo Maria, Lodovico il Moro, Bona of Savoy,
and Beatrice d’Este.
“ Related in style are eleven Portrait-medals in low relief of the
same personages, andGian Galeazzo Visconti, Francesco Sforza, and
Louis XII. of France, which were in all probability issued under the
last named ruler. A large medal of Galeazzo Maria Sforza of 1470
may be one of Caradosso’s earlier works, if it is not the production
of Ludovico da Foligno. A struck medal of Julius II. with the
Conversion of St. Paul on I^b may be considered as Caradosso’s who
also cast Portrait-medals of Ludovico il Moro (1488), Francesco
Sforza (of about the same date), Bramante and Julius II. (1506).
All these coins and medals show a great progress in technique from
earlier works, and have influenced Benvenuto Cellini, and through
him, a large number of Italian artists, in special Medallists. ”

CARAGLIO, GIOVAN JACOPO ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 350). The
Berlin Museum posesses a Relief in bronze, oval, 74 X 90 mill.,
representing the Adoration, and signed : 10 IAC0BVS VER. (Bode,
n° 1249).
The name occurs also as CARALIO, CARALIVS, or KARALIS. He
signed usually Jacobus Veronensis or Jacobus Caralius Veronensis. The
only medal which may be ascribed with certainty to this artist is
that of Alessandro Pesenti, but in all probability is a medal of
Sigismund I. of Poland also his work. There is a medal of Bona
Sforza, dated 1540; however this cannot be the medal, even if it
should be by Caraglio, which he sent to Aretino in 1539. Vide G.

CARIATI, GIOVANNI (ItaL). Signs also GICAR. Painter and
Medallist, was born in Naples, and from the age of seventeen was
a serious student of the arts and sciences. He is versatile in his
accomplishments, being poet, painter, illustrator and sculptor.
While in the employ of a publisher of religious books, he inspected
a collection of medals which were offered for sale, and was im-
pressed with the inferiority of the average talent displayed, observ-
ing in most of them little knowledge of human beauty, anatomy
for design. He therefore began to design medals, and though having
no master or school in which to learn the elements of the art, he
was successful as a self-teacher, and has risen to a high place among
the medallists of to-day.
He exhibited at the (i Esposizione Pro Museo Segantini ”,
Galleria Grubicy, Paris, and at the Salon of 1906. In 1909 a special
exposition of his works was held at Milan, in the Esposizione Ita-
liana, which elicited great approval. Several examples of his work
were exhibited in the International Medallic Exhibition of The
American Numismatic Society in 1910.
Signor Cariati became a resident of New York in 1912.

“ Really strange and most interesting is this figure of “ Gicar ”,
the Italian artist who arrived yesterday at Brussels, and who has
been able in such a short time to make himself appreciated at his
true value. His art is eclectic, and although only his graphic work
concerns us here, let us say nevertheless, that he has succeeded in
making his name known throughout Italy by his literary works
also.
“We have to do with a personality so complex, with a tempera-
ment so extraordinary, that it is impossible to reproduce all the
phases, all the metamorphoses of his very complex personality.

“Assuming simultaneously the pseudonyms of Icario Givantina,
Giulio Costanzo etc , according as he presents himself as critic,
poet or architect, he adopts that of “Gicar”, when he appears
before the public as a designer and painter.
“And here again, his personality subdivides; we find in him all
the grace and softness of line of a Mucha, all the spontaneity besides
the richness of colour, and the splendour of the best Italian water-
colourists. What is more astonishing in the works of Cariati is the
United States of America.
intensity, the diversity and the intimate fitness1 of the conception
with the form of expression. Therefore, the whole of his work is
the reflection of his troubled and varied life, and all his creations
bear the impress of the constant struggle, strengthened by the pro-
found confidence in his own powers. He owes everything to him-
self, for his apprenticeship took place under the most unfavourable
circumstances
“ To the pessimistic talents who conspired against him, he opposed
the absolute silence of an unalterable resolution, and the activity
of a prodigiously creative brain

arts, and even in poetry. Such a temperament, naturally could not
fail to gain for him the sympathies of the most noted celebrities
and caused him to be rightly called “ Demon Artist”.
“It was by chance that the idea of experimenting in the poster
awoke in him ; perhaps it was the idea of testing his qualities as
designer, and of winning a place among the best. In any case, the
advertisements in painting, the calendars, the post-cards, the posters,
which he signed, are all charming, all different in style
“The advertisement-painting in the hands of the artist becomes
eloquent and striking by its novelty. At each new production, one
is astonished by such prodigious skill ; for unlike his colleagues,
“Gicar ” constantly changes his style, and when you are just about
to detect in him his ancestry, he opens to you new trails by reveal-
ing more qualities of his own.
“His imagination is unlimited, and his ability astonishing. He is,
in truth, a fine recruit for our arts, this artist so “ fantasting and so
fanciful ”, who suits his talent to all subjects, and knows how to
catch the interesting side of each.

CAVALIER (CHEVALIER, CAVAILER), JEAN (. B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904,
p. 363). A French Ivory-carver, and possibly also a Medallist;
flourished between 1680 and about 1707, and worked in various
places, London and Stockholm, and perhaps also, Kassel and Berlin.
His productions are met with in numerous museums, including
those of Berlin, Vienna, Kassel, Brunswick, Dresden and Stockholm.
They are chiefly Portrait-medallions in ivory, which are usually
signed : J. C. or C. Some of these may have been models for
medals. Cf. Chr. Scherer, in Dr Thiemeks, Allgem. Kiinstler-
Lexikon, VI, 216.
CAVALLERINO DELLA MIRANDOLA, NICCOLO ( B.D.M. , Vol. I,
1904, p. 363). Son of Cavallerino de’ Cavallerini. Appointed Mint-
master at Modena on 5. June 1523, which appointment was con-
firmed to him in September of the same year for a period of five
years. He set into circulation silver and gold coins with the head
of Hadrian VI. He is also said to have issued a coronation coin or
medal of Charles V. at Bologna, 1530. Contemporary writers
credit him with a number of low-reliefs in metal, and Gio. Muzio
(. Letters (1590), p. 178) mentions numerous medals by him of
Guido Rangoni (J- 1539), four varieties of which are known, one
struck, and three cast. On this attribution is based the ascription
to Cavallerino of the following medals : Argentina Pallavicini (con-
sort of Guido P.; one is dated 1540), Laura Pallavicini (after
1519), Altobello Averoldo (J* 1532), Marino Grimani (between
1628-46), and Girolamo Beltramoti. Cf. G.F. Hill, in Dr Thieme’s

CAVALLI, GIAN BATTISTA (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 365).
Mr. G.F- Hill, in Dr Thieme’s Allgem. Kunsiler-Lexikon, VI, 220,
remarks that the medal, showing on IJL David playing on the harp,
and usually attributed to Caradosso, is probably by Cavalli, who
issued the coin of similar type of Federigo II. of Mantua, struck in
1523 or thereabout. From a letter dated 1. January 1541 we learn
that he engraved for the Reggio Mint the dies for the gold Scudo
with Christ carrying his cross (about 1535-36).
CAVALLI, GIAN MARIA (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 365). Sculptor,
Goldsmith, and Die-engraver, was bom at Viadana near Mantua
before 1454; son of Andrea C. In 1479 he was a member of the Con-
siglio degli Ottanta ; 1481 was working for Federigo Gonzaga,
from 1497 Mint-engraver at Mantua, and 1499 also in the service
of the bishop Lodovico Gonzaga; 1506 he w^as called by the emperor
Maximilian to the Mint at Hall in Tyrol. Mr. G.F. Hill thinks that

Cavalli may possibly be the engraver of some small coins of Gian
Francesco II. of Mantua, with the Madonna on IJT Among the
coins, for which he cut the dies at Hall are Half Thalers (Testoni)
with busts of Maximilian and Bianca. A sketch for the latter and
casts of a large medallion in wax are still extant. In his style is a
small struck medal of Maximilian with the emperor on horseback,
and Mars, Faith and Justice on the reverse. Doubtful is the attri-
bution to him of the restored Marriage thalers of Maximilian and
Mary of Burgundy (erroneoustly dated 1479) and the medal ot
Francesco Bonatti. Cf. G.F. Hill, in Dr Thieme’s Allgem. Kunstler-
Lexikon, VI, 221.
CAVE, JOSEPH ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 366). Flourished in

Portrait-gems by him, including George II., Isaac Newton, etc.,
and gems with classical representations, as Leda and the swan,
Vestal Virgin, Homer, etc.
CAVELIER, PIERRE JULES (. B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 366). Born

In the Dreyfuss Collection is a Sabina JE 1, by Cavino.
Cavino was born in May 1500, and died on 5. September 1570;
he was buried in S. Giov. di Verdara, at Padua. His father, Barto-
lommeo C. was a goldsmith, in which art young Cavino was

century. By him is a Commemorative medal of the Laying of the

CELLINI, BENVENUTO ( B.D.M . Vol. I, 1904, p. 375). In Dr
Thieme’s Allgem. Kilns tler-Lexikon, VI, 273, we find a concise
account of the artist’s work as a Coin- and Medal-engraver. His
activity as such seems to have been limited to the years 1529
to 1535. Appointed Mint-engraver at the Papal Zecca in Rome by
Clement VII. on 16. April 1529, he cut (1529-30) the dies for the
two gold Doppie with the Ecce Homo and the Emperor and Pope
supporting the cross, and for the silver Double-Carlino, showing
Christ saving Peter from drowning. Cellini remained in office until
17. January 1534. In that year he engraved for Paul III. a gold
Scudo with the three-quarter figure of St. Paul, but he does not
appear to have done any further work for this Pope. In 1535 he
was entrusted by Alexander de’ Medici with the preparing of ma-
trices for coins, and supplied in the same year those for the 40-soldi
piece with the Duke’s bust with curly hair, the Giulio with the
standing figure of St. John the Baptist, the Half Giulio with the
youthful bust of the Saint, and the gold Scudo with the Medici
arms. The attribution of these coins rests on the Master’s own des-
cription either in his Autobiography, or in the Trattati. No other
coins can be ascribed to him with certainty, and there is nothing
to prove that he also cut dies for Cosimo I. or Francis I of France.
Cellini’s medals comprise the two Portrait-medals of Clement VII.,
both with same obv., the one representing on I Jd. Peace burning
spoils of war, and signed BENVENUTUS F., and the other, Moses strik-
ing the rock, and unsigned. They bear reference to the Peace of
1530-1534 and Fountain erected at Orvieto by the Pope. The cast
medal of Francis I., executed about 1537, with a horseman throw-
ing down Fortuna, is also signed (BENVENU F.). The same portrait
occurs with a second reverse and inscription falleris, iam data
est fid. In 1535 Cellini modelled a medal of Alessandro de’ Medici,
the dies for which he cut in Rome, but the reverse was not finished
at the time of the Duke’s assassination. As this portrait we have
probably to recognise the medal with the reverse inscription solatia
luctvs exigva ingentis ; the same reverse occurs further on a medal
with the bust of Cosimo I. Both these medals have been given, wfith
little foundation, to Domenico di Polo. In 1537 the artist prepared
models for a medal of Pietro Bembo, with short beard, and Pegasus

in myrtle-wreath on reverse. The medal was not issued, but the
cast Portrait-piece, showing Bembo with long beard, as Cardinal, is
an undoubted production of his and was made about 1539/40. In
1540 Cellini executed a large medal of Ercole II. d’Este, of which
Cardinal Scaramuccia Trivulzio.
however only the obv. with the Duke’s portrait exists (Goethe
Nat. Mus., Weimar; and in a private English collection). Simila-
rity of style with the medals of Ercole II. and Bembo suggests the
attribution to Cellini of the following medals : John, Cardinal of
Lorraine; — Pietro Piantanida of Milan; — Cardinal Scaramuccia
Digitized by
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Original from
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Trivulzio ( illustrated ), which medal shows the influence of Cara-
dosso, and may be one of Cellini’s earlier works.
The medal of Bindo Altoviti, which is usually given to Cellini,
does not correspond to his style of work, and other attributions are
still less worthy of consideration.
Cellini’s medals, remarks the critic in the above mentioned
article, do not stand out as particularly remarkable in conception,
but they are excellent in technique and have served as prototypes
to subsequent medallists.
Among Cellini’s seals are those of Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga, 1528,
with the Ascension of Mary, Cardinal Ippolito d’Este with St. Am-
brosius, who appears during the battle of Parabiago,and, according
to Molinier, Cardinal Innocenzo Cibo with the representation of
the Navicella, which is known from a gilt plaquette in bronze ot
the Piet-Lataudrie collection.
tc That Benvenuto Cellini may have tried his hand at gem-
engraving is based on his account of his engraving the Zodiac and
heavenly bodies on a ball of crystal, and a Bacchanalian scene,
signed Cellini, engraved on the lid of a lapis lazuli box once belong-
ing to Cardinal Gonsalvi but now in England. Of course the latter
may well bear a forged signature, but the contrary supposition is
altogether credible.” (Duffield Osborne, Engraved Gems, p. 174.)

CENNINI, DOMENICO (DI BERNARDO) ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904,

Ottaviano Riario to this artist is erroneous, and Prof. W. Bode
has shown that they belong to Niccolo Spinelli (7. v., Vol. V,
P- 632).

He is best known perhaps by his series of Portrait-medals, which
he engraved in conjunction with P. Girometti, Serie iconografica
numismatica del pin famosi Italiani. In his medallic work Niccolo
Cerbara has followed the style of the Bavarian artist Karl Friedrich
Voigt. Cf. art. in Dr Thieme’s Allgem. Kunstler-Lexikon, VI, p. 291.

CESARINI, FRANCESCO (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904,^.389). Medallist
and Mint-engraver in Rome, who worked under Hamerani, 1670-
1680. There is a medal of Innocent XI, by him signed F. C. F.,
which shows on I^h a Procession in front of the Casa Santa at
Loreto.
CESATI, ALESSANDRO (B.D .M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 389). G. F. Hill,
in Dr Thieme’s Allgem. Kiinsller-Lexikon, gives further notes on
the activity and work of this artist. Alessandro Cesati (not Cesari)
was the son of an Italian father (a Milanese?) and a Cypriote
mother and was probably born in Cyprus at the beginning of the
sixteenth century; settled in Rome previous to 1538, where through
the intermediary of his friend Annibale Caro he entered the service
of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. To the protection of the latter he
owed his nomination as Canonicus of Nicosia (in 1540 or before)
and appointment of administrator of the Papal mint. This office he
held until 1561. Besides the papal coins, Cesati also issued those of
Ottavio Farnese, Duke of Camerino (1542), and possibly also those
of Pierluigi Farnese for Castro. Cardinal Farnese employed him also
after the death of Paul III., although Cesati had offered in April 1549
to sell to the Duke of Florence his coining process. — The Papal
Jubilee medals and the medal of Pope Julius III. of 1550 are by this
artist, who worked at intervals for the Mint of Parma between 1557
and 1539. In August 1561 he went to Piedmont, where on the
10. December of the same year he was appointed Ducal Mint-
master. His name is mentioned for the last time in October 1564,
on the occasion of his leaving Venice to return to his family in
Cyprus.
Cesati, whose name occurs as 11 Greco and II Grechetto, appears
to have engraved two portraits of Henri II, one a cameo, the other
an intaglio ; the former is signed on the back AAEIANAPOZ
ETTOIEI.
The conjecture that some of the stones signed EAAHN may be
by Cesati is doubtful, and Mr. Dalton shows that the well-known
gem, from. the Marlborough Collection (illustrated, Vol. I, p. 391),
bought from Zanetti by the third Duke, is not the gem praised by
Vasari as a head of Phocion, and that neither subject nor artist are
at present known. The person represented is more likely to have
Digitized by

been a contemporary of the engraver than a Greek or Roman. (Ct.
O. Dalton, B .M.C . Cat. of Engraved Gems of the post-classical Periods,
p. 35, n° 403.) The Phocion mentioned by Vasari (la testa di Fo-
tione Ateniense, che e miracolosa, e il piii bello cammeo che si
possa vedere) appears to have been a stone formerly in the collec-
tion of Baron Stosch, and now lost (Reinach, Pierres gravies, pi. 136,
n° 56).
Duffield Osborne, Engraved Gems, p. 176, remarks: “ Alessandro
Cesati (II Greco) is said by Vasari to have surpassed all the rest and
engraved innumerable gems. He did, lor Cardinal Farnese, an in-
taglio portrait of Henri II in carnelian, an inch in diameter, which
was especially praised by Vasari, a lion looking out of its den, in
intaglio on a burnt onyx, and many fine cameos, foremost among
which is a head of Phocion in the Florence Collection, signed
fTYPrOTEAHZ EHOIEI ; the earliest example, I think, of the for-
geries of ancient signatures, though the idea here was probably
mere vainglory. His regular signature was AAEIAN APOZ EnOIEI,
either in full or abbreviated, and King suspects that many gems
signed EAAHN, a translation of his sobriquet, are by him. ” A
carnelian, signed CAAHN, in the Metropolitan Museum, New
York (King Coll. Cat.,N° 218) represents Omphale walking, nude,
save for the lion-skin of Hercules thrown about her, and bearing
his club over her shoulder.
CHABAUD, FELIX LOUIS ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 394). Died

CLERC, GABRIEL LE (B .D.M., Vol. I, 1 904, 440 ; III, 363). There
were apparently two Medallists of the same name, father and son .
The elder, a native ol Rouen, was a resident in Berne from before
1674, in which year, on 25. August, his son Gabriel was born.
For the Mint of Berne he cut dies for the coinage. A Thaler ol
1679 is signed C (Lohner 175), whilst a G occurs on Ducats, Thalers
and Half Thalers ol the same year (Lohner 77, 93, 182, 208, 222,
227, 230) and on a 4 Durai piece of 1680 (Lohner 53); also on a
Half Thaler of Basle, undated (Haller 1495). On 8. July 1681 he
presented the Berne Council with a Seal bearing the arms of the city
and inscription Sigillum minus Reipublicae Bernensis, and on IJL a
procession of bears ; edge inscribed GABRIEL LE CLERC FECIT 1681.
This seal is now preserved in the Historical Museum. About 1683
the Engraver went over to Basle, where traces of his activity are met
with on the coins and medals for which he cut dies. The State
Archives of Basle preserve an iron die by him with the arms of the
city, and the signature GABRIEL LE CLERC FECIT 1686. A medal of
the year 1685 is signed GLC (Haller 1275, and also nos 1276, 1375,
1376, 1377, 1387, 1485) and a commemorative medal on the events

COLIBERT, JULIEN (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 448). Engraver;
was received a citizen of Geneva in 1765. In 1768 he was
commissioned to cut the die and puncheon of the allegorical medal
which the Representatives presented to their 24 commissioners as a
reward for their labours in bringing about the Edict of pacification.
The striking of this medal, which is signed S. C.. F. took place at
the Fribourg mint. The dies broke several times, which explains
the numerous varieties of the medal to be met with. Colibert
abandoned his family a first time in 1769, and a second time in 1777.
He resided for some time in London, and from there went to Ham-
burg, Stockholm or St. Petersburg, stopping where he found work.
On his return to London he engraved two medals of George II.
and a Portrait-medallion of George III., with IJ<L sun in splendour,
no legend.

CORNACHINI, ZACHARIE (Fk.). Mint-master at Maestricht, 1558-

CORNELIS, JEAN ( Flem .). Mint-master at Breda, 1577.
CORNIOLE, GIOVANNI DELLE (. B.M.D. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 457).
The following two Plaquettes attributed to this artist appeared
recently at an auction sale in London, and were described as
follows :
Two Italian Renaissance Plaquettes, by GIOVANNI DELLE
CORNIOLE, one representing a triumphant cortege composed of four
horsemen to right, followed by two men on foot, and a fifth
horseman in the rear (Molinier, ~) ; the other, a Roman tribunal,
with consul seated on an estrade of two grades inscribed spqr, on
the second grade a bearded man holding a volumen in right hand,
in front and facing them, are two soldiers helmeted and carrying
swords and bucklers, one with spear (Molinier, ~), both rectangular
and of the si~e 40 by 42 , both fine, and of artistic merit.
The artist was entrusted in 1495 with the valuation of Lorenzo
the Magnificent’s art treasures. On 29. August 1513 he cut a corne-
lian with a figure of Hercules which was to serve as a Seal for the
Signoria of Florence (K. Busse, Arch, di St. Flor., Deliber. d. Sign.).
His only authentic extant production is the previously mentioned
intaglio in cornelian of Savonarola in the Uffizi, which was purchased
by Cosimo I., 1565. A bronze medal bearing much analogy with
this gem was probably executed from his model, if not by the artist
himself. By him is possibly also a Portrait-cameo in agate of Savo-
narola and an intaglio in sardonyx of Boccaccio. Mr. G. F. Hill
states that the bronze Plaquettes signed 10. F. or 10. F. F. are not b)r
him but by a North Italian artist. Cf. G. F. Hill, in Thieme’s
Lexihon, VII, 444.
“An infinite number of his gems, both large and small were
said to be extant in Vasari’s time ”.
CORNIOLE, PROSPERO DELLE {Ital.). Probably a contemporary of
Giovanni delle Corniole, of whom little is known.
CORRIEUL, JEAN {French'). Mint-master at Grenoble, 1542-43.
Privy mark : a heart.

COSTANZI, CARLO ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 460). Was still
living in 1753. The King of Portugal and Pope Benedict XIV.
bestowed order-s upon him. The Portrait-cameo of Bened. XIV. was
presented by the Pope to Bologna cathedral. A portrait by Costanzi
of Baron von Stosch (in sapphire) is preserved in the Uffizi Gallery,
Florence ; another of Catherine II. of Russia in the Paris Biblio-
theque, and a sardonyx-intaglio with head of Phocion in the
Berlin Museum. Cf. A. Thieme, Allgem. Lexikon der bild . Kiinstler.
Costanzi’s signature occurs in various forms: CAVALIERE CARLO
COSTANSI, EQUES COSTANSI, K. KOCTANCI, etc.
Several gems by Costansi were reproduced by Tassie (Raspe,
nos 2789, 11678 (Antinous), 14024, 14026, etc.).
COSTANZI, GIOVANNI (. B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 461). Bom in
1664, died in 1754; father of Carlo and Tommaso C.; resided in
Naples, and is known as one of the first gem-engravers in diamond.
The Berlin Museum owns a portrait-intaglio in chalcedony, by
him, of Gordianus Africanus (Winckelmann, Cat., p. 567, n° 88;
Raspe 12069).
COSTANZI, TOMMASO (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 461). Died in
1747. Cf. Giulianelli, Mem. d. intagl., 1757.
COSTANZO (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 462). Medallist and Painter
of Ferrara, worked chiefly in Naples, although his family wvas
residing in Ferrara. From Naples he was called to Constantinople,
at the same time as Gentile Bellini of Venice, to paint the portrait
of Muhammad II. He returned to Italy after the sultan’s death
(2. Sept. 1481). The medallion of Muhammad II., previously
mentioned, is dated 1481, and signed OPVS CONSTANTII (a later
copy of this medal occurs without date and the signature CONSTAN-
TIVS F.). This medal, says Mr. Hill, is of great artistic importance
and betrays Pisanello’s influence. In 1485, C. w7as in Naples, where
he painted the portrait of the youthful Ferrante d’Este. In August
of that year we find him for a short time at Ferrara. He may be
identical with the painter Costanzp Lombardo, named by Summonte.
On the other hand it has also been suggested that C. is the same
person as Costanro di Moysis of Venice. Cf. G.F. Hill, in Thieme,
Allgem. Lexikon, VII, 539, and other sources given there.

DANFRIE, PHILIPPE (I) (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 502). Line-
engraver, Medallist, and Modeller in wax, born between 1531 and
1535 at Cornouailles (Basse-Bretagne), died in Paris in 1606. He
began life as a painter in conjunction with the typographer Richard
Breton (1558-59) and later distinguished himself as maker of mathe-
matical instruments, watches, and even muskets. His branch of
predilection was however that of engraving. He executed book-
Dinders’ dies and cut dies for coins. In 1582 he was appointed cGra-
veur general ’ of French coins, and 1590 of the coins of Bearn and
Basse-Navarre, enjoying the patronage of both Henry III. and IV. At
the time of the Ligue he fled as a Huguenot with his son to Tours,
and there modelled Portraits in coloured wax. On the return of
Henry IV. to Paris he was reinstated in his office which he resigned
in 1598 in favour ofhisson, and later, of Nicolas Briot. Danfrie is
the author of several large and small Portrait-medals of Henry IV.,
which comprise the Coronation medal with RL. invia virtvti nvlla
est via and- Hercules, and a medal, cast, with bust of Henry IV.,
on obv. and RL mea. me. sic. gallia. sospes. Minerva in landscape,

and in 1598 graveur general of French coins. Like his father, he
modelled Portraits in wax and notwithstanding his youth acquired
a considerable artistic reputation. He engraved jetons and medals,
dies for ‘pieces de plaisir’, etc., and his productions are difficult to
distinguish from those of his father. I have previously given to this
artist medals which should probably be ascribed to Philippe Danfrie
senior. Cf. Fred. Alvin, loc. cit.
DANIEL, SAMUEL ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 505). This Engraver

and Medallist, born at Munich on 28. February 1865 ; learned
chasing with W. Lossow; worked under W. von Diez and F.A.
Kaulbach. As a Medallist he ranks with Bosselt, Roemer, and Elkan
amongst the renovators of German Medallic art. He has modelled
cast Portraits in the Renaissance manner, but his chief medals are
all prepared from dies cut direct without the intervention of the
reducing machine. Up to 1909 the artist executed about 70 medals,
plaquettes and coins, which were issued mainly by Carl Pollath, of
Schrobenhausen. These comprise Prize medals, Badges, Charm

Displays, 1911. Some models were prepared in honestone, or cut
in box wood, etc. Medallions in Kelheimer stone of Leo Samberger,

of the artist. — For Patterns in connection with the new Imperial
coins of Germany, Dasio was awarded the first Prize in the com-
petition of the Diirerbund 1908, and again the First Prize for a
Pattern 25 Pfennigpiece (which was not issued) 1909.

The Marquess of Milford Haven has informed me that he
possesses some medals by the Dassiers unrecorded by me and which
will be published in his work on Naval Medals.
Jean Dassier is not the author of the 72 Portrait-jetons of the
Kings of France; they were engraved by T. Bernard.

Thomason issued a series of Portrait-medals of Kings and Queens
of England, after Dassier, probably towards the end of the eighteenth
century.
The Double Ducat of Berne 1727 was engraved by Jean Dassier
(Rev. suisse num . , XVI ( 1 9 1 1 ), 3 3 4- 5 ) .
DASSIER, PAUL (Swiss). Goldsmith of Geneva, younger son of
Jean D. and brother of Jacques Ant. D. ; born on 21. December
1719, died at Aigle on 4. April 1755. In the Felix Colln sold at
Cologne in 1889 there was a silver decorative plaquette representing
the Rape of Europa, in the Louis XIV. style, signed DASSIER F.
which may be ascribed to this or another member of the Dassier
family. Cf. Brun, Schweiz. Kstlerlex. 1 (1905).

Hans D. was apprenticed to Gregor Erhardt, 1500-1503, and after
spending some years of journeyman wandering, he settled in his
native city where he died in 1537. Utterly forgotten until 1878,
when Dr. Bode first brought his name out of oblivion as the
author of a number of pieces of sculpture, — mostly on a small scale
and cut almost exclusively in lithographic stone, — modern critics
now suggest the attribution to him of the medals formerly ascribed
to Alb. Diirer, including a Plaque, dated 1509, representing a nude
figure of a Woman, full length, seen from behind, and leaning on
a pedestal, in the J. Pierpont Morgan Collection. These works are
supposed to have been designed by Diirer, but to have been executed
by Hans Daucher. Vide S. Montagu Peartree, Is Hans Daucher the
author of the medals attributed to Albert Diirer ? Burlington Magazine,
VII, p. 455 sqq.
After this artist are the large uniface Portrait-medal of Charles V.
reproduced above (p. 207), and a Portrait-medal in lead of Otto
Henry, Count Palatine of the Rhine, 1527.
The medallic work of Hans Daucher is not yet finally settled.
Demmler, in his masterly study of the artist in Thieme’s Allg.
Lex. d. bild. Kiinstler, VIII, p. 429, describes in all 19 productions
of the Master divided into : Epitaphs (3) ; Reliefs in honestone (15)
and Medal (1). The Portrait-medallion of Count Palatine Philipp
is signed and dated 1522 (Colmar Museum). That of Philipp’s
brother, Ottheinrich (Erbstein Sale Catalogue 1908, PI. 19,
n° 609) is now generally accepted as a forgery.
Habich and Domanig have ascribed to Hans Daucher medals of
Counts Palatine Ottheinrich and Ludwig, Emperor Maximilian,
Queen Mary of Hungary, King Henry VIII. of England ; and tour
other Portraits of private persons (Habich, Beitrdge gu Hans Daucher
in Helbings Monatsber. fur Kunst. u. Kunstwissenschaft, III (1903),

Th. Hampe, in Thieme’s Allgem. Kunstkr Lexikon, IX, p. 117
gives a resume of all that is now known concerning this artist.
The name also occurs as TASCHLER or TESCHLER.
Deschler married at Nuremberg in 1532, and on 3. May 1537
became a- burgher of the city. Between 1533 and 1547 he made a
stay in Italy of two years’ duration, residing in Venice and later in
Rome. His second wife was the widow of the illuminator, Jorg
Glockendon. As early as 1543 he was brought to the notice of
Archduke Maximilian, the later Emperor Maximilian II. In 1548 he
cut in stone the portrait of Archduke Ferdinand (King of the Ro-
mans since 1531). Towards the end of the fifties the artist settled in
Vienna, where from 1563 he styles himself “ pilthauer und conter-
fatter in stain”, and was in receipt of fixed emoluments. His name
occurs for the last time on 1. October 1571, and it is surmised that
he died towards the end of that year.
A number of works are ascribed to Deschler, amongst others a
<c Kunststiick ” of the year 1553, for which Archduke Ferdinand
offered 800 Thalers, but very little is really known of the work of
the Master between 1546 and 1558. To this period no doubt belong
the largest number of his cast medals and Portrait pieces, which
are usually signed I D (in monogram). A Portrait-medallion, in
boxwood dated 1533, of Laz. Sperigler, bears the signature J.T.
Most of the medals were no doubt prepared from models in hone-
stone. One of these is known ot the obv. of the medal of Agnes
Marl, 1564, also a double-sided model in wood of the medal of
Maximilian and Mary of Burgundy. The ‘ Deutsche Gesellschaft ’
in Leipzig has also recently acquired the model in stone of obv.,
and 1)L of the medal of the Nuremberg patrician ‘ Florenzius Oertel,
r556-
Deschler’s medals comprise : Johann Neudorfer, Hieron-Baum-
gartner, Melchior Schedel, Georg Tetzel, Franz Schleicher, Flor.
Oertel, etc. all of Nuremberg; Wolfgang Rechlinger of Augsburg,
Melchior Zobel, bishop of Wurzburg, Ludwig von Hutten ; a number
of medals of Austrian Princes, eminent burghers of Vienna, includ-
ing those of Abraham Sangner and consort, 1563; Sebald Kraus,
1509, Joachim Anschuez and Katharina Petersdorf, 1570.

DEXAMENOS ( B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1904, p. 578). “ Of the artists of
the best period”, says Duffield Osborne, Engraved Gems, p. 59,
<£ we find several certain and probable names, but the one pre-
eminent, both in merit and in the number of authentic signed
works extant, is that of Dexamenos, the Chian, who probably
worked at Athens between 450 and 400 B.C. We have four gems
that can be attributed to him. The first of these, a chalcedony
scaraboid of light brownish tone with a milled border which bears
the signature AEIAMENOI, in the lower left hand corner, repre-
sents a lady at her toilet with a slave before her holding up a
mirror and with a garland in her hand. Owing to the form of the
letters, and the broad breast, narrow hips and treatment of the hair,
all showing connection with the severe style, Furtwangler dates it
about 450 to 440 B.C. Above is the name MIKHZ, the genitive
of Mika, a woman, who was doubtless the owner, and who evi-
dently chose for her signet device this picture of herself in a familiar
pose, though it is not probable that any accurate portraiture was
attempted. The gem is interesting as showing the need and use of
signets by women, perhaps as a careful housewife to guard her
goods against pilfering slaves, perhaps as a wealthy hetaira who
indulged in business ventures.
“The second, a scaraboid of yellow jasper sprinkled with red,
has a similar signature in the upper left hand corner. It also has a
milled border and is a picture of a crane standing on one foot and
preening its wing. Under the raised foot is a grasshopper, and the
design and workmanship are very beautiful. The third, the famous
flying crane, is a bluish, somewhat clouded chalcedony scaraboid.
The border is a single line, and the gem, which was found at
Kertch in the Crimea, and is now one of the chief treasures of the
Russian Imperial Cabinet, bears the full legend, AEIAMENOZ
ETTOIE XIOZ (Dexamenos the Chian made), in two horizontal
lines at the bottom of the stone. In the fourth gem, a yellow and
red chalcedony scaraboid, also with the simple line border, and
AEIAMENOZ E1101E in two lines at the top, Furtwangler thinks
the artist reached the summit of his excellence, an opinion that is
by no means unanimous among, critics. It is said to have been
found in a grave at Athens and is evidently the portrait of some
eminent Athenian. Evans dates it about 450 B.C. and hazards the
chance that it may be Kimon, but Furtwangler disputes this on the
score of its not agreeing with Plutarch’s description of him and also
because he places the date later, between 430 and 420 B.C. King
calls it the artist’s own portrait which is, of course, pure guess
work. Incidentally I may add that the signature has been doubted,
though I think unjustifiably. ”

DIOSCORIDES (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 591). “Foremost
among the gem-cutters of the Augustan age stands Dioskourides ”,
says Duffield Osborne, Engraved Gems, p. 121, “who cut the
portrait of Augustus himself. This gem has remained undiscovered
though Reinach claims that a head of the Emperor on a carnelian
is the work of this master as, also, an amethyst portrait of Maecenas.
We have certainly, however, several others : a Diomedes, signed,
AIOCKOYPIAOY, two Hermes, a beautilul female head and a
portrait bust of Demosthenes. On all of these the signature is the
same with the exception of variations in the style of lettering, par-
ticularly on one of the Hermes (AIOCI : OYPIAOY). Dioskourides
cannot be said to have been an originator of ideas, as, in fact, very
few if any of his contemporaries. He was a tasteful classicist,
borrowing his subjects from the best examples of an older art but
treating them in his own way. He seems to have come to Rome
from Aigeai in Cilicia with his three sons, Eutyches, Hyllos, and
Herophilos, all of whom followed his craft and have left us
examples of their work. ”
Dalton, in his Catalogue of Engraved Gems of the Post-classical
Periods, describes several gems of the Brit. Mus. Collection which

Stosch, had formed a collection of sulphur casts of antique gems,
in which the Dolce couple started dealing. Their sons and nephews
then took to gem-engraving. Foremost among these Engravers was
FEDERICO D., born 1. June 17 66, died 30. January 1849, wffio
published in 1790 a “ Descrizione storica di 200 gemme antiche” ;
next to him, his brother, VINCENZO, born 23. December 1770;
GASPARO, born 15. February 1772, and ALESSANDRO, who was still
practising in the middle years of the nineteenth century as a Shell

may mention those for the Compagnie des gondoles a vapeur sur

DURER, ALBRECHT (. B.D.M. , Vol. I, 1 904, p. 669). A most
valuable contribution to Diirer’s activity as a medallist was published
by Dr Georg Habich in the “ Jahrbuch derKon. Preussischen Kunst-
sammlungen ”, 1906, Heft I. The three well-known medals, which
are only uniface goldsmith’s models : Diirer’s father, 1514 — the
so-called Agnes Diirer, but really an Ideal head, possibly Lucretia
— and the so-called Wohlgemuth, Dr Habich maintains are by
Diirer, and have been correctly ascribed to him by A. von Sallet.
The medal of Jakob Fugger attributed to the great master by Erman,
is more likely the work of Valentin Maler. But by Diirer are no
doubt also : a Honestone model formerly in the Felix Collection,
with portrait to 1., bearing great analogy with Diirer’s father, and
dated 1514; — the original of the Willibald Pirckheimer medal,
1517, which is only known from poor copies; — a medal of Se-
baldus Schreier, 1512, in the South Kensington Museum, — and
finally the beautiful Nuremberg Proclamation Medal of Charles V.
which may have been executed in collaboration with the engraver
Hans Krafft.

Assembly of the County of Flanders, and Medallions with bust of
Louis XVI., View of Cambrai Cathedral, etc. His copper-plates are
better known.

This medallist has issued a number of medals commemorating
German successes in the European war and Satirical medals of the
Allies. One of his best known productions relates to the Sinking of
the “ Lusitania ”, and is inscribed : “ Heimtiicke und gewarnter
Leichtsinn an Bord der Lusitania. ”
M. G.F.Hill in “ The Commemorative medal in the service of
Germany”, London, 1917, refers to Eberbach’s” curious series of
pieces cast in iron, a sort of danse macabre, in which a skeleton
plays the leading role. It ic not clear whether the medal in this
series which satirises “ England’s greeting to the Neutral Tubantia”,
and represents Death discharging, on England’s behalf, a torpedo
at the unfortunate Dutch Vessel, was issued before or after it was
definitely proved that the torpedo in question was a German one .
Nor does it much matter if, as a high German authority has said,
it is to be the Germans who will write the history of this war.
“ Eberbach’s work is of the same character as the satirical pieces
by Gotz, and appeals to nothing but the taste for the gruesome. But
a repetition of the hackneyed skeleton motif, unless treated with
the imagination of a Felicien Rops, must be without effect on a
public that has in recent years supped full with horrors more real
by far. ”
The following are some of Eberbach’s satirical medals : English
abuse of the neutral flags; iron, 83 mill.; — Winston Churchill,
the Ruler of the seas; iron, 83 mill.; — The British World Post
Marten ; iron, 70 mill. ; — Lord Fisher; iron, 70 mill. ; — Presi-

ESTEBAN LOZANO, JOSE (Span.). Contemporary Sculptor and
Medallist; pupil of Sabino de Medina and of Piquer, 1864;
appointed Professor of engraving at the Fine Arts School in Madrid,
1871. His work as a medallist ceased in 1885, through failing
eyesight. By him are the following medals : Casto Mendez Nunez,
1869; — Accession of Alfonso XII., 1875 i — Fine Arts Exhibi-
tion at Madrid, 1876 ; — Inauguration of the Ciudad Real Railway,

EU (EY). This signature has been considered in some instances to
represent the artists Euainetos, Euarchidas, Eukleidas, and Eumenos.
The Syracusan tetradrachms signed EV have usually been described
under Eumenos or Eumenes. Tudeer, Die Tetrad rachmenprag ting
von Syr aims in der Periodeder signierenden Kunstler (Zeits. fur Numis-
matic, XXX, pp. 320 + VIII Plates) is of opinion that EV is a dis-
tinct artist. I am enumerating here the types thus signed.

Dr Arthur Sam bon ( [Incisori Siracusani, 1914) does not adopt
Tudeer’s view as to EV being a distinct artist, and thinks that the
two forms EVMHNOV and EVMENOV represent the same engraver,
but that the latter signature is posterior to the former.
EU (Greek). A Syracusan Hemidrachm, published by Sir Arthur
Evans in “Some new Artists’ Signatures on Sicilian Coins” ( Num .

Chron., 1894, P* 3°7) bears on I^C the inscription EY. The coin is
thought to be the joint work of Phrygillosand Euarchidas (cf. Sign.,
p. 80, and Diet., II, 50). Vide Eumenes, Euainetos, Euarchidas.
EU or Y3 (Greek). Sir A. J. Evans and M. Michel P. Vlasto have
interpreted these inscriptions on Tarentine didrachms of Periods VI
and VII as Engravers’ signatures. Cf. Forrer, Signatures &c.,
pp. 80-82.
EU on a Didrachm of Heraklea Lucaniae ( De Ciccio Sale, 19,
XII, 1907, Paris; lot 26), is thus described by Dr Arthur Sambon.
Circ. B.C.380. Head of Pallas to r., her helmet adorned with
Scylla hurling stone; in front, the artist’s signature EY. I^L. Herakles
standing to r. strangling lion; above kHPAKAHIflN ; to 1. nOA

On another coin of Herakleia we find the signature EY<t>P, and
Sir Hermann Weber has published a specimen with EYO.
The following list drawn by L. Tudeer will be found useful. I
have shortened the references and only given the handiest. As it
would take up too much space to describe each type, it will be
necessary to consult the works of reference, and especially Tudeer,
to enable one to identify the coins.

TERINA.
Sir Arthur J. Evans has detected the presence of the signature or
this Engraver on Didrachms of Terina (corresponding to Regling,
obv. MM and ^6. aua), type illustrated below:
51. Obv. TEPINAIflN. Head of Nike-Terina to r., wearing
earring with triple pendants and beaded necklace ; hair rolled ana
elaborately waved ; the whole in fine circle.
I^L. Winged figure of the Nymph seated on square altar or cippus,
resting on a narrow base. She wears a sleeveless chiton and hima-
tion. On the am pyx above her forehead is the inscriptionEYA in
microscopic characters. A bird with spread wings is perched on the
back of her r. hand, and her 1. rests on the back of the cippus; the
whole in a fine circle. The design is of extraordinary relief (Des-
cription by Sir A. J. Evans).

“ Closely allied to this type of the ‘ rich ’ style, presenting the
signature of Evaenetos, are two others, nos 83 and 84 of Dr Regling’s
list. N° 84 presents the monogram /E on its obv., and a crab is
inserted in the exergual space of the I^L,. ”
“There can be no doubt”, continues Sir Arthur”, that the em-
ployment of Syracusan engravers for the mint of Terina, more
especially of the official Die-sinker of Dionysios, stands in close
relation with the domination that he at this time exercised in the
toe of Italy. This begins with the expedition against Rhegion in
391, bringing with it the defeat of the Crotoniate fleet, and cul-
minates in the crushing defeat of the army of the Italiote confede-
rates on the Helleporos in 389. This was followed by the capture
of Skylletion, Hipponion, and Caulonia, the territories of which
were added to those of Lokroi, the traditional ally of the Syracu-
sans. The capture of Rhegion followed in 387, and in 379 of
Croton, the mother-city of Terina”.
Cf. Sir Arthur J. Evans, Engravers of Terina and Signature of
Evaenetos , Num. Chron ., 1912, pp. 21-62.
TARENTUM.
MrM. P. Vlasto has also suggested “ that the E seen behind the
veiled head of the goddess on the noble gold stater of Tarentum,
reproduced here, may represent the signature of Evaenetos”.
Tarentitie gold Stater.
MASSILIA.
There is also a type of Drachms of Massilia, on which the head
of the goddess shows so much affinity with Evaenetos’s head, that
Drachm of Massilia.
Sir Arthur suggests “ it may have been actually executed in his
atelier”.

“ Evaenetos ” says Dr B, V. Head “ introduces new motives such
as a broken rein in the chariot group, Nike carrying tablet with

Sir Arthur Evans observes that, as the ear of barley on Syracusan
tetradrachms accompanies obverses by Phrygillos and reverses by
Euarchidas it is reasonable to suppose that on this Drachm the
signature EY represents that of Euarchidas.

Some of the types of Eukleidas accompany others by EV. Tudeer
gives his reasons for considering EV to be a distinct engraver from
Eukleidas, as also Eumenos and Eumenes.

EUMENES (B.D.M., Vol. II, pp. 35-38 j Notes sur les Signatures,
pp. 143-157; Tudeer, Die Tetradrachmenpriigung von Syrakus, etc.).
Tudeer, after Dr Regling, suggests that the signatures EVMHNOV
and EVMENOV represent two distinct artists, Eumenos and
Eumenes. He also suggests that the artist EV is possibly another
Engraver, whose full name has not yet been ascertained. - — Dr
Sambon however is not of the same opinion. He says ( Incisori
Siracusani, p. 21, note): —
_ Cl_ Dr Regling (Coll. Warren, p. 61) suggests the attribution to two
distinct artists, E b \).evr,q and Eupw;voc, ofthe coinssigned EVMENOV
and EVMHNOV, but this does not appear to me possible. L. Tudeer
claims a new artist as the engraver of the coins signed EV, which
resemble the primitive tetradrachm of Eukleidas. On all these coins
I notice the same workmanship, dry and precise, always influenced
by the works of others but nevertheless always returning to the
same ancient formulae ; we must not stop at the similarity of forms,
but solely consider the style.
“The form EVMENOV is posterior or at least contemporary to
that of EVMHNOV, which led Evans to think that the name might
be E'jjHvy;? and not Eo^tjvsg ; but the genitive of EYMENHZ is
EVMENOVZ. Eumenos does not appear tome to be a purely Greek
artist and I see in the form EVMENOV an affectation of archaismus.
The name should be Ey;j,Y)vcc and of Sicilian origin. The year 426
was for Syracuse a period of grave events and the dies for the coin-
age were entrusted to indigenous artists. Such are Eumenes
(EYMENOYZ) as well as Eumenos (EYMENOV). ”
_ Eumenes is apparently somewhat later than Eumenos, although
his activity begins during the period of circa B.C. 425-41 3 and
extends to the following, circa B.C.4T3-399. His signature is asso-
ciated with types by Euainetos and Euthymos.

Tudeer considers the artist who signs EVM H NOV as a distinct
artist from Eumenes, and places the date of his activity to the period
of circa B.C. 425-413.
His principal known types include the following Syracusan tetra-
drachms. With Sosion Eumenos appears to be among the earliest
Engravers who signed coin-dies. Cf. Sambon’s opinion ( supra Eu-
menes).

Euthymos, whose signature is EVO which occurs only on reverses,
shows a chariot driven by winged male figure; in ex. Skylla
chasing.
Percy Gardner, in B M.Cat., Peloponnesus, regards the GV3
on Stater of Elis referred to previously as an artist’s signature, and
states : tc As to EVO, it is possible that these letters may indicate
the workmanship of the S\ racusan die-cutter who worked about
B.C.412-406. If so, this artist must have worked at Elis before he
began to work at Syracuse, for the Syracusan coins are more
advanced in style, and the signature on them runs from left to
right, not from right to left as at Elis. ”
The Engraver’s Syracusan productions comprise :

EVE, GEORGE WILLIAM ( But. ). Designer of book-plates, stamps,
currency notes and seals. He was born in the year 1855 and early
in life entered the Herald’s College, London, where his father had
been before him. There he acquired the knowledge that was
afterwards to stand him in good stead when he struck out as a free
lance. In his own particular line he was the most distinguished
artist since Sherborn. Though known to many principally for the
excellence of his book-plates, he was also one of the chief authorities
on heraldry, his “ Decorative Heraldry” (1897) and “Heraldry
in Art ” (1907) being too well-known to need more than mention.
He gave a number of lectures on the art in which he was so great
an authority, among them the Cantor Lectures at the Society of
Arts, London, in 1906, as well as lectures in London, Manchester
and Bradford. As a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers,
book-plates showing his excellent technique and successful spacing
of design and lettering were regularly seen on the walls of their
gallery and also upon those of the Royal Academy. He was also
represented at other exhibitions of note, including the many inter-
national exhibitions that have been held abroad from time to time.
He was also a member of the Art Workers’ Guild. Among his best-
known works may be mentioned the book-plates of Queen Victoria,
King Edward the Seventh and King George the Fifth ; invitations
for the Civic banquets at the Guildhall, London, the work of the
Welsh Investiture as well as a large amount of Government design-
ing, among it the higher value postage stamps, the national insu-
rance stamps and the currency notes (1914). He also executed a
fine set of shields and other gesso decorations for Alloa House,
Clackmannanshire, Scotland, and received numerous commissions
from America. He modelled and designed the seal of Birmingham
University in 1901. He died in December, 1914.

Mr. W.H. Woodward owns another variety of Tetradrachm of
Camarina, by Exakestidas :
Bearded Herakles to left; above head EXE or EXI.
Quadriga to left, driven by Athene seated high; both wheels
shown ; large goad. In exergue : Meta.
This reverse is similar to one described by Sir Arthur Evans
{Syrac Med., p. 197-8) who only notes one wheel.
The obv. however of Evans gives a youthful and beardless head
of Herakles.
The rev. is very markedly like one of Euainetov on Syracusan
tetradrachm with wheel in exergue.

FACIUS, ANGELICA (. B.D.M. , Vol. II. 1904, p. 66). Friedrich
Wilhelm Facius, Gem- and Die-engraver born in Greiz 1764, died
at Weimar 4. May 1843, had five children, of whom only one, his
daughter Angelica, born at Weimar on 14. October 1806, died
17. April 1887, followed his profession.
F. W. Facius settled in Weimar in 1788 and was prevailed upon
by Goethe to learn the art of gem- engraving. On 6. November
1829 he was appointed Court-Medallist, ana on 5. June 1840
Professor of Engraving.
Angelica Facius became one of her father’s most brilliant pupils
and after studying under Rauch in Berlin, she attained uncommon
ability and skill.
The following medals are known by her : 50 years’ Jubilee of
Reign of Charles Augustus of Saxe-Weimar, 1825 (the artist was
only 19 years old when she cut the dies for this medal); — Memo-

FALIER, GIOVANNI {Ital.). Medallist of the first half of the six-

IOANNIS.FALETRO, and is reproduced by Bode in Zur neuesten
Forschung auf dem Gebiete der italienischen Medaillenkuude, 1903.
The signature 0 F (10. F.) appears also on a well-known medal of
Andrea Gritti, procurator of St. Mark’s (Hill and Rosenheim, Some
Italian Medals, Burlington Magazine, Nov. 1907) : —
“ Dr. Bode was the first to publish a medal with the full signa-
ture IOANNIS FALETRO. It is a unique medal of a Presbyter Marcus
in the Simon collection at Berlin. The artist’s name is stated, on
Dr. Ludwig’s authority, to have been Giovanni Falier. This is not,
however, the only work that we have from his hand ; for the signa-
ture O F, which appears on a well-known medal of Andrea Gritti,
procurator of S. Mark’s, is his. The 0 is no Greek letter, as has
usually been supposed, but is a monogram of the letters I 0. On
good specimens it will be seen that the lower part of the ring goes
over, the upper part under, the vertical stroke, showing that we
have here not one letter, but two; so that the signature is really
10. F. As regards style, there is a very distinct resemblance between
the obverses of the Presbyter Marcus and the Gritti medals, in relief,
in composition, and in the treatment of the hair.
“The date of the Gritti medal must be fixed between 1509,

when he became procurator of San Marco, and 1523, when he was
elected doge. But it is possible to fix the date more exactly. The
reverse represents the siege of a city ; a breach is apparent in the
walls. The man on horseback is undoubtedly Gritti himself. In
1512 he took 'Brescia and Bergamo for the emperor from the
French ; on the other hand, four years later, in 15 16, he recaptured
Brescia for the French Irom the emperor. We are surely justified in
assuming that the reverse refers to one or the other of these
successes, and the medal therefore dates from 1512 or 1516 ”.

FEART, ADRIEN ( B.D.M. , Vol. II, p. 77). By this Engraver is
also the following medal : Societe des Concerts de musique vocale,
religieuse et classique, 1844.
FECHER, FRIEDRICH ( B.D.M.', Vol. II, p. 78). Dr E. Major
( Die Busier Goldschmiedfamilie Fechter, Anz. A.-K. 1904/05,
p. 144-146) has been able to prove with satisfaction that the
numerous medals signed FF of the first half of the seventeenth cen-
tury, which were hitherto ascribed to a member of the famous
family of goldsmiths of Basle, of the name of Fechter, are really
the work of a Medallist of Strassburg, Friedrich Fecher.
This artist, whose name occurs in the Register of Guilds of
Strassburg in 1612 appears to have been working in his native city
until at least 1630. It is certain that his dated productions of 1628-
1630, including medals on the Religious troubles of 1628/9
( Berstett , n° 25 6 c and 25 6di), with a view of the city ( Berst .,
n° 256/ and 256^), a Marriage medal 1629 {Berst., p. 83) and a
Reformation Jubilee medal of 1630 {Berst., n° 245 £) all indicate
the same place of origin. In that same year 1630 he went to Basle,
where traces of him are found until 1653.
An important series of medals of Basle commemorating the most
varied events is known of the period of 1630 to 1648, and com-
prizing Peace Medals on the Peace of Westphalia 1648 {Haller,
67-74); — Scholastic Medals of 1641 and 1642 {Haller, 1414-
1417); — Undated “ Gliickhennenthaler ” {Haller, 1323, 1323 a,
1326, 1329, 1331); — Medals depicting Daniel in the lions’ den
{Haller, 1335 and 1341); — ‘ Moralpfennige ’, with representation
of the city and city arms, also with historical figures, allegorical
scenes, etc. intended as presents, and varying very much in artistic
merit {Haller, 1316, 1318-20, 1332-35, 1340, 1351, 1358-60,
1362-65, 1368, 1370-72, 1378-80, 1382, 1398). Of exceptional
artistic merit is a medal by him, showing on obv. a half-length
figure of a seated Venus with Cupid {Samml. Eiuig, Cat., n° 826).
Fecher probably never worked in Berne, as he engraved in
Basle the die for the Presentation Medal granted to Officers for
distinguished services in the War of the peasants of 1653 {Haller,
736). For the striking of 12 gold and a number of silver pieces he
claimed payment of 894 Kronen 12 Batzen and 2 Kreutzer, which
was settled in Basle Ducats reckoned at 57 Batzen a piece.
The date of birth and death of Fecher are still unknown.

FIL ARETE (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 93 ; Vol. II, 1904, p. 92).
From the review in The Connoisseur by Ettore Modigliano ot the
work on Antonio Averlino, by Michele Lazzaroni and Antonio
Munoz (Rome, W. Modes, 1908), the following details are culled: —
“ Fortune was a stepmother to Antonio Averlino. A man of ready
genius, and as versatile as most of the Italian masters of the Renais-
sance ; endowed with glowing imagination and noble taste; edu-
cated by the best classic models — goldsmith and sculptor, architect,
engineer, and writer — he had the qualities of an artist of race to
leave an ineffaceable impression on the progress of art, and to leave
his name upon a series of works which would place him among the
most typical figures of historical moment — but his ship sailed
dead to the wind.
He came to Rome when Donatello brought to the eternal city
the Gospel of the great Florentine Renaissance. Pope Eugene IV.
entrusted to him the execution of the bronze gates to the greatest
temple of Christianity. Having completed this task with honour, he
was about to reap the fruit of the fame which his work had pro-
cured him in Rome, when he was forced to interrupt the execution
of the monument to the Cardinal of Portugal, and to leave the city
under the grave accusation of a theft of relics — an accusation that
closed to him for good the gates of the city which would have
offered the best field for his activity. He goes for a few years to
Milan, where he obtains the protection of Francesco Sforza and the
commission to execute the great tower of the Castle. But soon the
hostility of Milan to the Florentine master, fanned by his collabo-
rators, makes itself felt, and Filarete’s work in this construction is
restricted to a few decorative parts, and ceases before the monu-
ment is completed. By the Duke’s will he is then attached as engi-
neer to the construction of the cathedral, which was then to be
crowned with a cupola ; but again the Duke’s orders and the artist’s

good-will are powerless against the opposition of the directors of
this fabric, ana after two years Averlino is forced to give up the
work. In 1456 he receives the commission for the construction of
the Ospedale Maggiore at Milan, and superintends this work for nine

years, until in 1465, aged and tired of meeting with constant hos-
tility, he is forced to depart and to leave unfinished the fabric, the
upper part of which, entrusted three months later to Guiniforte
Solari, is continued by that master in an altogether different style
and character.
“Meanwhile Filarete had conducted the construction of Bergamo
Cathedral, which, to judge from existing descriptions, must have

been a noble work, with rich decorative details; but after two cen-
turies the ill-fated artist’s work was destroyed by that seventeenth
century mania for re-building to which have been sacrificed so many
Renaissance monuments.
Yet Averlino’s life-work is such as to deserve a clearer light than
has hitherto been thrown upon it. But whilst modern art historical
research has rescued so many masters far less interesting than
Filarete, and examined their work with minute and subtle science,
the art of Antonio Averlino — last irony of a hostile fate ! — has up
to now been left in obscurity. With the exception of a short mono-
graph by W. von Ottingen, in which scant attention is given to
Stilkritik, Sauer’s and Tschudi’s studies on the reliefs of the gates
of St. Peter’s, and some few scattered notes like Courajod’s on the
master’s bronze sculptures, there has so far been no organic work
on our Antonio, in which a proper examination is made of the
abundant archivistic material and of the master’s extant works, and
in which the development of his artistic activity is surely and
completely outlined.
“ Such a book has now been given us by Messrs. Munoz and
Lazzaroni in a volume that deserves full praise for its methodical
treatment, and for the complete knowledge shown by the authors
of the argument as well as of all historical, biographical, and artistic
sources. The figure of Filarete is here studied, not detached from
his time, but in the surroundings in which he moved, with the
events that had a bearing upon his life ; and yet his personality
arises from these pages in perfect clearness on its artistic and human
aspect. Having resumed the little certain knowledge about the first
years of Averlino’s life in Florence, the two authors dedicate a long
chapter to the study of his famous gates of St. Peter’s, of which
they discuss every detail, and restore the order in which the reliefs
were executed, separating the master’s own work from that of his
assistants, and following the development of Averlino’s artistic style.
They then pass in review — together with wrongly attributed
works — the master’s unquestionably genuine minor works, among
which is the magnificent bust of the Emperor John VUI.Paleologue,
which dates probably from 1439, when the Emperor came to
Florence, whither had been transferred the Council of Ferrara. Next,
they illustrate — always with the support of documentary evidence
— Averlino’s work as architect at Milan and Bergamo, and throw
light upon the hints we have of works executed by the master at
Cremona, Varese, Venice and Bellinzona.
“ A full description is finally given of Averlino’s hitherto unpubl-
ished Trattato d’ Architettura, of which this monograph contains
long extracts and reproductions of the most interesting drawings
contained therein. ”

of the irons for coining gold and silver within the Tower of London
and elsewhere in England, with a fee of £ 20 yearly, the same as
had been paid to William Wodeward, his predecessor. In 1490 he
received the additional offices of controller and surveyor of the
mints in Dublin and Waterford, during good pleasure. Symonds
states that “ Flynt is entitled, nominally at all events, to the credit
of having produced the dies for the second or arched-crown
coinage of Henry VII’s eighth year, but his tenure of the office
had ceased in, or just before, 1494. His successor, Alexander de
Bruchsella, a goldsmith and an engraver of the first rank, introduc-
ed, among other changes, a profile head (in 1503) which marks
the beginning of real portraiture upon our English currency.”
Mr. C.F. Keary, in Coins and Medals (1894) describes this profile
portrait of the first of the Tudors as <£ being a work of the highest
art in its own kind. Nothing superior to it has appeared since
We are indebted to the researches of Mr. Flenry Symonds for
Flynt’s name, and those of several other artists who worked at the
Royal Mint during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. I shall
refer more than once to Mr. Symonds’ valuable contribution to the
Numismatic Chronicle, 1913, p. 349, sq. on £C English Mint
Engravers of the Tudor and Stuart Periods, 1485 to 1688.”
FOHMANN, HEINRICH {Germ.'). Mint-warden at Liineburg, 1581-

FOISIL, BELONI ( B.D.M. , Vol. II, p. 1 17). At the Salon of 1899
this Medallist exhibited two medals.
FOLGER, NATHAN C. ( Amer .). Issuer of Advertising Checks (Store
Cards); born in Hudson, New York, in April 1810; settled in
New Orleans 1830; date of death unknown. Lyman H. Low in his
well-known work entitled cc Hard Time Tokens” refers very briefly
to Folger, and states that the dies of his Store cards w7ere made by
Bale and Smith. Mr. Edgar H. Adams in The Numismatist (May 1915,
pp. 169-173) describes six varieties of Tokens by Folger, all of
which have on obv. the American eagle. In the New Orleans Direc-
tory 1858, w7e find Folger’s advertisement as N.F. Folger & Son,
wdiolesale and retail dealers in men’s fashionable clothing and plan-
tation goods of every description, Corner Magazine and Gravier
Streets, New Orleans. The firm’s name was changed later into
Folger and Blake.
A portrait of Folger is shown in the Numismatist, 1915, p. 169.

FRANCESCHI, PAOLO DE (Ital .). Assistant Mint-engraver at Venice,
circ. 1526, worked under Gambello and Benintendi, and executed
some of the coin-dies of Andrea Gritti.
FRANCIA (FRANCESCO RAIBOLINI) ( B.D.M. , Vol. II, p. 137).
The Bernardo Rossi medal, hitherto attributed to Francia, is shown
by von Fabriczy to belong to so late a date as to make it more
probably the work of a pupil, who, nevertheless, imitated Francia’s
style very closely. Fabriczy gives the Alexander Borgia with a coro-
nation scene on the I^L. to Francia. Though there is a great external
probability for this, it is not altogether easy to reconcile it with the
artist’s known work on stylistic grounds, and Bode still clings to
its former attribution to Caradosso.
The medal of Innocent VIII., said by Friedlander to be Francia’s,
is restored to the Florentine School, to which it undoubtedly
belongs, though the name of its author is still undetermined, since
the attribution to Pollajuolo rests on very inadequate evidence.
With regard to the stamped medal of Julius II., which has
variously been attributed to Francia and Caradosso, Fabriczy
adduces minute characteristics of style which are entirely in favour
of the latter artist. The sentiment of the portrait, with its robust
characterization and frank realism, is, moreover, far removed from
Francia’s mode of feeling.

Remarks. — The United States of America in the issue of this
coin is to be congratulated in having overcome its silly Republican
prejudice to the appearance of an initial indicating the engraver’s
name, which raised a ridiculous controversy upon the appearance of
the “Lincoln Cent”, leading to a reissue, omitting the initial or
initials of Mr Brenner and entailing an undeserved obloquy upon
that admirable medallist together with a very great financial loss to
him. That country is, also, to be commended in having struck out
in a new line from the monotonous and exceedingly ugly heads of
the goddess of Liberty that hitherto have made her coinage so
uninteresting and, again, in having done tardy justice to the
unfortunate race of the so-called “ Indians ”, — the real Americans,
— in choosing the noble head of a chief, apparently of the once-
great Allgonquin nation, as a coin type. The other type appropri-
ately and, perhaps, not without an unconscious sinister motive,
represents the other living object which it has been the “ mission ”
of the white man in this country ruthlessly to destroy, the almost
extinct bison.

The incase field and raised edge are doubtless intended to prevent
the coin from wearing away. Experienced numismatists may be
pardoned however, in feeling somewhat sceptical of this “ Yankee
notion ”, particularly as the pieces which already have found their
way into circulation are by no means clear and sharp in their
inscriptions or in the details oi the type. Possibly this may be due
to imperfect striking, which would only make matters worse, but
the prominent relief in which the figure of the bison, as well as the
ground he is supposed to be standing on, no less than the other
extreme of the unnecessarily low relief of the Chief’s bust, are not
conducive to withstand a very great degree of friction.
(A.H. Coopcr-Prichard, Nam. Circ., July 1913.)
In the Numismatist , August 1913, p. 423, appeared the following note:
We are indebted to Mr. Foster Lardner of Providence, R.I., for a snapshot ol
Chief Iron Tail, of the Sioux Indians, who is said to have been the model used
by Mr. James Earl Fraser for the design of the Indian head on the new five-cent
piece. Chief Iron Tail is now connected with the show known as 101 Ranch,
and is said to be very proud of the fact that his features were selected as most
nearly typifying the Indian of history and tradition.
Fraser is noted also for some fine medallic Portrait-plaques, one
of which is reproduced in The Numismatist, July 1913, p. 353;
another, signed JEF, of the American Museum of Safety, with
bust of Edward H. Harriman, and published by the Medallic Art
Co. of New York, is illustrated in Aiiter. Journ. of Nmnism.,

FREIRE, FRANCISCO DE BORJA ( Portug .). Born in 1791 ; was
apprenticed to Francisco Xavier de Figueiredo ; admitted as assistant
at the Lisbon Mint in 1814; promoted to the post of Second
Engraver in 1830; sent to London in 1836 to perfect himself in
the art of die-sinldng under the Medallist W. J. Taylor, and returned
to Lisbon in 1837 after sixteen months’ absence.
He has produced a large number of medals and his coin-dies rank
amongst the best in the Portuguese series. In 1842 he became First
Engraver, and retired in 1864. His death occurred in 1869. A medal
by him commemorates Michael I,, and is dated 1828; another por-
trays Camoens, 1821. In 1830 he engraved a Trial piece for a com-
memorative medal of Camoens, the bust of which was used for the

Honourable Sir E.R. Fremantle. He was born in the year 1834
and was educated at Eton. On leaving Eton he became a clerk in
the Treasury in 1853. At the same time he acted as Private Secretary
to various officials, including Sir H.B.W. Brand, who was afterwards
Speaker of the House oi Commons. When Benjamin Disraeli was
acting as Chancellor oi the Exchequer in 1866 Sir Charles Fremantle
was his Private Secretary. A year later he was appointed Secretary
to the Boundry Commission under the Representation of the
People Act. In 1868 he was appointed Deputy to Thomas Graham
who was then Master of the Royal Mint and when Graham died
in 1869, Sir Charles remained the Executive head of the Department,
but by the Coinage Act of the following year it was provided that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer should be ex officio Master of the
Royal Mint. Sir Charles was a most accomplished numismatist and
medallist and was lor some years a Member of the Numismatic
Society of London. He exhibited a splendid collection of coins at
the Royal Yorkshire Jubilee Exhibition which was held at Saltaire,
near Bradford, in 1887. To “ Murray’s Magazine ”, for June, 1887,
he contributed a most interesting and instructive article on “ Our
New Coins and their Pedigree” and was responsible for the issue
of twenty-four annual Reports on the Royal Mint and matters relating
to coinage. These are of the greatest value to students of modern
coins. He retired from his position at the Royal Mint in September,
1894, and was succeeded by Mr. Horace Alfred Darner Seymour.
In 1891, Mr. Goschen who was then Chancellor of the Exchequer
appointed a committee of six members to consider and report upon
the designs in use for the British Imperial gold and silver coinage.
Sir Charles Fremantle was a member of the committee and as a
result of their labours a new series of gold and silver coins were
issued in 1893. Sir Charles was also a member of several departmental
committees on questions connected with the Civil Service. He was
one of the British Delegates to the International Monetary Confer-
ence held in Brussels in 1892 and from 1896 until 1903 he was
one of the British representatives on the board of the Suez Canal
Company. On Monday, June 14th, 1897, “The Financial News”
newspaper published a special number in commemoration of the
Diamond Jubilee of the reign of Queen Victoria and among the
interesting articles contributed was one on “ The Queen’s Coinages”
by Sir Charles Fremantle. In subsequent years he retained liis asso-
ciation with the City or London as Vice-President of the Corpora-
tion of Foreign Bondholders and director of Parr’s Bank, the
Standard Bank of South Africa, the Bank of Australasia, the Eagle
Insurance Company, the Egyptian Delta Light Railways and other
undertakings. He was created a K . C B., in 1890.111 1865 he married
Sophia, the youngest daughter of Mr. Abel Smith, ofWoodhall Park,

Hertfordshire, by whom he had four sons and one daughter. Sir
Charles was a magistrate for Middlesex, London and Westminster.
He was buried on Monday, October 12th, 1914, at Swanbourne,
Buckinghamshire.
FRflMIET, EMMANUEL ( B.D.M. , Vol. II, p. 1 5 5). This artist’s
medal, representing Cleopatra, and issued by the “ Societe fran-
caise des Antis de la Medaille d’Art ” cannot be considered as one of
his best ; but the hard outline may have been purposed to suggest
the ancient Egyptian style of design. This medal was exhibited at
the Salon of 1903 .
At the New York International Medallic Exhibition, March 1910,
he exhibited his two medals of Joan of Arc and St George.
Fremiet died on 10. September 1910, at the age of 86. He was a
grand officier of the Legion of Honour. A nephew of the great
sculptor Rude, he became his pupil at an early age, and soon acquired
his style, which he retained ever after. His first exhibition, that of
the Gazelle, dated as far back as 1843, and his talent was at once
recognised. It was followed bv other exhibitions, of which animals
were also the subjects, but as time rolled on he turned his attention
to more ambitious work, and his equestrian statue of the first
Napoleon, produced in 1868, his Louis d’Orleans, which is at
Pierrefonds, his equestrian statue of Jeanne d’Arc, which adorns the
Place des Pyramides, and his colossal “Ferdinand de Lesseps”,
which was unveiled at Suez in 1899, may be cited from among
many other masterpieces.
M. Fremiet was extremely active and energetic almost to the last,
in proof of which the following characteristic anecdote may be
related. He was a member of the Fine Arts Academy, and he
would not allow anything to interfere with his appearance at its
meetings. So when the Palais Mazarin was inundated during the
memorable floods in 1908 he calmly took a boat and arrived
punctually at the Institute, quite astonished to notice that several
of his colleagues had stayed away. Enteric fever was the cause of
the death of the famous sculptor.
Fremiet obtained in succession the following Awards and Dis-
tinctions : Medailles de 3° classe en 1849, de 2e classe en 1851, de
bronze a l’Exposition Universelle de 1855 j cl'oix de chevalier de
la Legion d’honneur en i860; une medaille d’argent a l’Exposition
Universelle de 1867 ; la rosette d’officier de la Legion d’honneur en
1878 ; la medaille d’honneur en 1887 ; hors concours a l’Exposition
de 1889 ; membre de l’Institut en 1892 ; commandeur de la Legion
d’honneur en 1896; Grand’croix en 1900, obtaining at the same
time a “ grand-prix” at the Exposition Universelle.

Galbrunner avait recu, a ses debuts, les lecons de Francois Rude.
II prit ensuite les conseils de Farochon, qui etait a ce moment le
represen tant le plus accredite de la gravure en medailles et pierres
fines, et etait arrive, sous la Restauration et la monarchic de Juillet,
au plus haut point de perfection que le genre put atteindre.
«Galbrunner suivit la merne voie. Entre en 1844 a lTcole des
Beaux-Arts, il s’y livra d’une facon a peu pres exclusive a l’etude des
chefs-d’oeuvre kisses par les anciens dans la sculpture lapidaire. II
exposa au Salon a partir de 1848. Son debut fut un buste en platre
du tragedien Ballande ; puis vinrent des medailles sur cornaline et
autres pierres fines, parmi lesquelles des portraits de femmes et
d’enfants assez nombreux ; puis un buste de VAntinoiis, Prinlemps ,
une Tele de Meduse, Id Eucharistic, Offrandes a Minerve. Ses medail-
lons, surtout la serie de ses-camees, executees avec une perfection,
une conscience et un gout dont la tradition se perdait de plus en
plus, dans le sentiment des pierres gravees antiques, lui valurent
une notoriete qui ne s’est pas encore affaiblie. II avait obtenu des
mentions honorables en 1861 et 1863, une medaille en 1867, une
autre de deuxieme classe en 1896 et une medaille d’argent a Impo-
sition universelle de 1900. •»

He must have left Rome in his early youth, and probably worked
also in Northern Italy, as the number of his Milanese and Genoese
medals seems to indicate, and in 1575 he was for a short time

GASTALDO, ROLANDO (. B.D.M. , Vol. II, p. 205). This Engraver
may be the author of a medal of Anne de Joyeuse, Admiral or
France, which I described in Archiv fitr Medaillen- and Plaketten-
kunde, 1914, pp. 14 1- 144.
The medal which is cast, and measures 78 mm., is of Italian
workmanship and beautiful execution. The inscription is .HANNE
. DVX . DI . GIOIOSA . R . G . Bust of the Duke to left, in armour,
hair brushed up from forehead, clean shaven, except short mous-
tache, and slight beard from chin, wears pearl earring, small collar
turned down over cuirass, as on the earliest medals of Henry IV ;
loose mantle fastened on left shoulder ; across breast, collar of the
order ot the Saint-Esprit, with badge suspended from it (or chain
of office to which is attached a medallion with cross). Around,
circle of dots.
The work has remarkable finish, but the artist, although careful
in minute details, has modelled a vigorous, expressive portrait with
that particular charm and lightness of touch which characterises
the productions of the Italian medallists of the latter end of the
sixteenth century. There is no doubt that the letters R.G., at the
end of the legend on our medal are the initials of the artist. Neither
Heiss nor Armand mention this signature, which is not that of a
known medallist. I find however that a certain Rolando Gastaldo was
Mint-master (Zecchiere) and Engraver of dies (Intagliatore) at
Desana, in the service of Count Delfino Tizzone, from about 1580
to 1 586. In that capacity he issued and engraved dies for coinage
of Desana, which consisted chiefly in imitations of the types of the
Digitized by

French coins of Heniy III. ( Vide Promis, Monete della Zecca di
Desana, Torino 1863). Since the French occupation after the battle
of Marignano, 1515, when the domain pass d successively into the
hands of the French Captains, Francois de Mareuil, Baron de
Montmoreau, and Pierre Berard, Seigneur de la Facaudiere, French
influence had remained predominant at Desana, although the
County had been restored to the original princely family, the
Tizzoni, by Charles III, Duke of Savoy in 1329, and Delfino had
indeed obtained his patrimony at the hands of the Emperor
Rudolf II of Germany, in 1581.
Whether for financial reasons of state or personal partiality to
the French Coins by the engraver of the dies, the coinage of
Desana under the rule of Delfino Tizzoni shows a very strong
analogy to the contemporary French currency, in many instances
the legends only being altered. It is obvious therefore that the
artist whose duty it was to imitate French monetary types would
have before him portraits of the French King and po sibly of his
chief officers of State, and that he should have modelled the portrait
of the favourite of Henry HI whose noble physiognomy may have
appealed to him as an artist is not unlikely, although further proofs
are needed to establish the fact beyond refutation.

Dr Cahn ascribes to Gebel a Portrait-medal of Lorenz Flaischer,
1 5 37 (in British Museum; Num. Chronicle, 1904, PI. V, 4). It is
unsigned. To him belong probably also : Hans Welser, 1536;
40 mill. ; — Barbara Welser ; 36 mill.; — Hieronymus Holzschuher,
1529: 42 mill.; — Wilhelm Schmidmayr, 1531; honestone
model; 38 mill.
A number of medals formerly attributed to Flotner should be
given to Matthes Gebel. The late Mr. Max Rosenheim had in his
possession a document which undoubtedly settles the question of
Gebel being a medallist.
Erman, whom I followed in my criticism of Gebel’s work (Vol. II,
p. 183), based his remarks on the Wolf Pesler medal, which
however is not by this medallist. On the contrary, Matthes Gebel
ranks among the cleverest German artists of the first half of the
sixteenth centurv. .

GENGEMBRE, PHILIPPE (B.D.M., Vol. II, p. 239).
“It is interesting to state that descendants of the above, a well-
known French Mint hngineer, in the early part of the last century,
are now living in New York City at the present time, one of whom
made an interesting address to the members of the New York
Numismatic Club last year.
“ Those familiar with French medals of the early part of the nine-
teenth century will recall the name “ Gengembre ”, which appeared
upon quite a number of them. We quote the following extract
from a manuscript biography of M. Gengembre, which has been
prepared by a member of the family :
“ Philippe Joachim Gengembre was born in Paris, and died in
1838 or 1839 at lndret, France. When his first wife (Jeanne Cha-
ronne) died soon after the birth of their only child, he went to

America, taking his infant son along. The father’s admiration for
the young Republic was such that he named bis son Colomb.
Landing in New Orleans, he passed up to St. Louis, where he
stopped long enough to make plans for the fortifications around
that city. He then pushed on further, reaching Canada where he
began a fur trade with the Indians. His second wife (Charlotte
Girard) also died, leaving one son, Camille.
“ When Philippe was quite a young man he was very kindly
treated and helped by Lavoisier, the celebrated chemist, and while
studying with him discovered one or two important gases. Later,
in 1803, when he was employed as chief engineer in the Mint at
Paris, he made several improvements and inventions in the coinage,
the most important (in 1803) being the automatic placing of the
coins under the press, and, instead of the milling, making letters
in the edges, thereby rendering counterfeiting more difficult. He had
his press in the basement, where he was able to pursue his im-
provement undisturbed.
“ Once, on the occasion of Napoleon I. making a tour of inspec-
tion at the Mint, a friend of M. Gengembre promised to bring him
to the Emperor’s notice. After a visit through the different depart-
ments, Napoleon, after making his adieux to the Chief, was hand-
ing Josephine into their carriage, when Philippe touched his friend
on the shoulder, saying, c You have forgotten your promise ’.
‘ Oh, yes! ’ was the reply, and, turning to the Emperor, told him
of the promise to a young man who was anxious to show His
Majesty some improvements in his press. The Emperor at once
answered that he would see it; then to the Empress, c And, you,
Josephine, I suppose you will wait a few. moments while I go back
and view these improvements ? ’ £ No, no, I will come, too, ’ and the
little party returned to the mint. They went down to the basement,
where all had been prepared in anticipation of the grand visit, and
chairs had been placed for the Empress and her ladies in waiting.
“ The Emperor and several gentlemen approached the huge
press, where two men in spotless aprons stoop motionless, awaiting
the signal to let go the ropes which swung the great hammer
round. As coin after coin was put into place (automatically),
stamped, and dropped out finished, the Emperor gathered a handful
and playfully threw them into Josephine’s lap, while she and her
ladies gratefully admired the bright pieces.
“ Hitherto the coins had been dropped under the huge press by
hand, often maiming the workmen’s fingers and hands either
through awkwardness or mishap.
“ Napoleon at once grasped the aim of the new invention, and
complimented Philippe on his improvements. Upon examining
one of the coins particularly he asked the young inventor why he

had put the bust of Lavoisier on it (thinking perhaps his own pro-
file should have been placed upon the coin). Philippe was quick-
witted enough to answer. ‘That is the head of my benefactor ; none
but the French Government has the right to strike moneys with
the Emperor’s bust upon it. ’
“ Not long after this incident M. Gengembre was made Chief
Inspector of the French Empire — Holland, Prussia, Spain and Italy.
Then came Napoleon’s downfall, followed by peace with England.
For years M. Gengembre had corresponded with Englishmen of
science; had made the acquaintance of Benjamin Franklin, when
the latter was in France in 1777; had met Robert Fulton in Paris
in 1804, and now that England and France were on friendly terms
after thirty years of war, he carried out a long-cherished plan and
crossed to London, accompanied by his son, Colomb. * * * Philippe
and his son made a tour of the most celebrated machine shops,
bringing away valuable drawings of their machinery, &c., and also
made the acquaintance of one of the first mechanical engineers of
England, John Farey, 1766-1826. * * *

GEREMIA, CRIST0F0R0 DI (B. D. M., Vol. II, p. 246). The
artist, who was born circa 1430, must have left his native city,
Rome, whilst quite young, as in 1456 he already returned there
fora short time. Between 1461 and 1465, he was, as he calls him-
self, “ dilecto famiglio ” of Cardinal Camerlingo Lodovico Scarampi,
whom he accompanied in 1461 to Perugia and in 1462 to Florence.
Von Fabriczy suggests that the only known medal of Cardinal
Scarampi is by Cristoforo, and in fact there is much analogy
between this piece and the signed medal of Alfonso I. of Naples,
especially in the severe profile, flat but still expressive modelling,
peculiar arrangement of the hair and similarity in the lettering,
above all in the characteristic form ot the g’s. To this artist Fabriczy
is also inclined to attribute the earlier medals of Cardinal Pietro
Barbo, who became Pope Paul II, dated 1455.
Dr Bode ascribes also to this artist a Plaquette representing
Augustus and Abundantia ; 67 X 67 mill, and another with an
Antique Group ; circular ; 130 mill.
His nephew, Lysippus, was likewise a Medallist of note.

GIORGI, Prof. Cav. RAFFAELE EVARISTO LUIGI ( B.D.M. ,
Vol. II, p. 268). Was born at Lucca in 1848, died in Rome on 20.
August 1912. Began life as an Engraver; studied later at the Fine
Art Institute of Lucca ; and worked for many years at Florence .
In 1906 his designs for a new coinage in competition with other
engravers met with the approval of the Italian Treasury and he was
appointed Chief-Engraver to the Mint. The Italian coinage from
1908-12 was struck from his dies, and he also engraved the Bese
and Rupees for Italian Somaliland. Giorgi was entrusted with
the preparation of dies for many medals, including the Medal of
Merit issued as a reward for services in connection with the earth-
quake of Messina and Reggio, and War medals for the Campaign
in Lybia and Aegean Sea, 19 1 1-12 ; — Centenary of the University
of Bologna; — Inauguration of the Dante Monument at Trento ;
— Four hundredth Anniversary o^ the Birth of Raphael, 1883 ; M.
55 mill. ; — Centenary of Torquato Tasso (modelled and engraved
m commission for the Ministry of Public Instruction) ; — Gio-
vanni Pacini, composer, 1875 ; — Benvenuto Cellini, 400th Anni-

nuele II. ; — Garibaldi ; — Memorial medal of Umberto I. ; —
Commemorative medal of the Battle ofSanFermo; — The Plague
at Naples, 1884, etc.
Many years ago he had prepared, while still in Florence, a pattern
5 Lire which had not been accepted.
Giorgi was a good technician, although not a great artist, and a
worthy successor of the famous Engravers, who from Cellini to
Speranza, were employed at the Roman Zecca.
GIOVANNI DEL CASTEL BOLOGNESE (Vide Vol. I, p. 77; II, 270).
“ He was, ” says Duffield Osborne, Engraved Gems, p. 175, “ the
earliest Renaissance gem-cutter whom we know of as signing his
work : either IOAANNE B— 10, CASTEL BON— 10 or C.B^He was
first under the patronage of Alfonso of Ferrara, then of Cardinal
Ippolito dei Medici, and then of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. His
most accounted works were intaglios on large rock-crystals of such
subjects as an assault on a castle, done for Alfonso of Ferrara, the
four evangelists for Pope Clement VII, the wife of Darius before
Alexander, the Rape of the Sabines for Cardinal Ippolito, Cruci-
fixion and Passion pictures, scenes of contemporary battles and
sieges, and many classical subjects, two of which, Tityos and the
Fall of Phaeton, were executed for Cardinal Ippolito from designs
by Michael Angelo : also he engraved portraits, especially one of
Margaret of Parma. The characteristics of his intaglios are shallow-
ness of the cutting, rather stiff drawing, elaborate finish, and high-
polish of his interiors, though the Tityos lacks this entirely. ”

descent, residing at Rome, is said by Osborne, Engraved Gems,
p. 175, to be about the best of the present day Italian gem-
engravers and admits that examples of his work have been sold as
antiques. That he made them as forgeries, however, he denies and
I do not doubt his truthfulness. He does little now in the way ot
intaglios. ”

GOBRECHT, CHRISTIAN. (The following biographical sketch of
the above engraver has been taken from an old magazine. As it
is probable that not many of our readers have ever seen it, we
publish the biography in full. Mr. Gobrecht was the designer of the
famous pattern dollars of 1836, 1838 and 1839, and several varie-

ties of half dollars of that period. His obverse design of one of the
pattern dollars, with stars around the figure of Liberty, was adopted
as the regular device in 1840, and was used on the dollar until
1873, when the design on that denomination was abandoned. His
design, however, was continued on the half dollar, quarter dollar,
dime, and half dime. The first three designs being used until 1892,
when the new Barber designs were adopted, which are in use at
present. — Ed.)
“Christian Gobrecht was born December 23d, 1785, in Hanover,
a town in York County, Pennsylvania. He was the sixth son ol
John Christopher Gobrecht, a native of the village of Augerssein,
near Cottingen, Landgraviate of Hesse, who emigrated to America
in 1753, and afterwards became a distinguished clergyman of the
German Church in Pennsylvania.
“ At an early age, Christian Gobrecht exhibited great mechanical
ability, and evinced a taste for drawing and design ; he consequently
was apprenticed to a clock-maker living at Manheim, Lancaster
County. His master, however, dying a short time after, he was
released from his indenture, and, removing to Baltimore, pursued
the course evidently marked out for him, guided by no other teacher
than himself. The ornamental work, name of maker, etc., in the
inside of clocks and watches, probably induced him to cultivate
engraving; and after passing several years in the making of clock-
faces, that business was entirely abandoned for the more congenial
occupation of an engraver. His progress in this art was gradual ;
and, commencing with the simple work of cutting headings for
newspapers and punches for type founders, he became, in time, a
writing and seal engraver, and finally a die-maker.
“About the year 18 n, Mr. Gobrecht removed permanently to
Philadelphia, where his principal pursuit was that of a bank note
writing engraver ; he, however, as opportunities offered, engraved
seals, calico printers’ rolls, bookbinders’ dies for embossing
morocco, dies for striking brass ornaments for military equipments,
and also executed several medals. In 1836, in consequence of the
contemplated change in the devices on the American coin, he was
appointed die-sinker in the United States mint, which office he filled
until his death, which event occurred July 23rd, 1844, he having
attained the age of fifty-eight years and seven months.
“ Of his labours as an artist and mechanic, the following are
the principal results :
“The Medal-Ruling Machine. — This is a machine so arranged
that while one point is tracing a line across the face of a medal,
rising and tailing according to the elevations and depressions over
which it passes, another point draws on a flat surface, a profile of
this line. If now the tracer be made to move successively in a series of
Digitized by

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
— 372 ~
parallel and equidistant planes over the whole surface of the medal,
there will be thus drawn a series of profiles corresponding to the
sections of these planes with the surface, and these lines will toge-
ther form a drawing or engraving of the medal itself.
“ Such an instrument was invented and executed, in 1817, by Mr.
Gobrecht. In this instrument the “ tracing point ” moved across the
medal in parallel lines, perpendicular to the flat surface or table of
the medal, and the profile lines were drawn on an etching-ground,
laid on copper or steel by the “etching point”. The first engrav-
ing made was of a head of the Emperor Alexander I. of Russia, and
the effect was very striking, and excited great attention. Mr. Gobrecht
did not, however, present any other specimens ruled by his machine,
as he became discouraged, in consequence of an apparently irreme-
diable defect in his instrument ; the ruled engraving exhibiting a
distortion of the features, not indeed very perceptible in copies
from medals in low relief, but from those in high relief quite offen-
sive. He consequently abandoned his invention. But the machine,
after being improved by others, and the distortion obviated, by a
most ingenious device, founded on the mathematical principles of
projection, has been used with eminent success, and has proved a
valuable assistant to the fine arts.
“ Medals. — Head of Charles Wilson Peale, one and one-quarter
inches in diameter.
“ Medal of New England Society for Promotion of Manufactures,
etc., two and one-half inches in diameter. Obv. Head of Archi-
medes. Rev. Steamboat, cotton-gin, and nail-making machine, in
three small ovals.
“Medal of Franklin Institute, two inches diameter. Head of
Franklin. Of this head, John Neagle, in a letter to the engraver,
speaks as follows : “ I am delighted with it, and as a specimen of
art, am proud to acknowledge it from the hands of a friend. I had
an opportunity of giving it a severe test by comparing it in one
hand, with the same head by the celebrated Dupre in the other,
and it gives me great pleasure to say that, in my opinion, it sur-
passes the other very far in merit. Yours has more of the genuine
character of our great philosopher and statesman. I could point out
many great beauties over the other, and many more truths in
yours, but I forbear till I have the pleasure of seeing you”.
“Head of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, two inches diameter. Of
this medal Mr. Carroll’s grandson writes as follows : “The impres-
sions of the dies you sent me were very much admired by every
one at a dinner given on the birthday of my grandfather, and
pronounced excellent. R. Gilmore says the execution of it is supe-
rior to the one he had executed in Europe”.
“ Medal Massachusetts Mechanics’ Charitable Association, one and

one-half inches diameter. Device : Female figure sitting and instruc-
ting a youth ; scattered around, screw, lever, wheel and axle, etc.
“ Seal of Pennsylvania Hospital, steel, two inches in diameter.
Device: The Good Samaritan. In the center, the wounded man
seated on the ass, with his right arm over the Samaritan’s shoulder
and supported by him ; in front of the ass the innkeeper with his
arms extended and holding the sick man’s left arm. The face of the
die is engraved to represent the front of the inn.
“Mr. Gobrechtexecuted in brass the dies for embossingthe morocco
covers for the Boston Token from 1831 to 1836, and a die of Tri-
nity Church, Boston, for the cover of a Paragraph Bible. Also a large
eagle with expanded wings for a Philadelphia Token, and a fanciful
design first used by himself for a card, and afterwards, with the
lettering taken out, for a book cover. Of the many seals in brass
none is of general interest except a seal with the heads of Drs.
Physick, Wistar and Rush, in profile, and a seal with an engraving
of St. Andrew’s Church upon it. Of Mr. Gobrecht’s services in
effecting the change of device on the coin, too high an estimate can
hardly be made. When it is taken into consideration that, in the
position of engraver under the Government, the judgment and
experience of the artist is controlled and frequently overruled by
suggestions almost amounting to commands ; that devices are con-
templated appropriate for medals, but inappropriate for coins, and
impracticable from the mechanical difficulties arising from the
necessary rapidity of coining ; that the opinions of a large number
of persons must be consulted, and the various tastes of the public
satisfied, the mere fact that a new coinage has been received with
general commendation, is ample proof of the patient industry and
skilful genius of him who under all these restraints has presented a
creditable specimen of his art. In the history of the coinage of this
country, the period during which Mr. Gobrecht was engraver, will
not readily be forgotten.
“In addition to his skill as engraver, Mr. Gobrecht was no less
ingenious in other branches. Although no performer on any instru-
ment he was a scientific musician, and constructed two musical
instruments on the principle of the melodeon, but long before that
instrument was thought of. He also devised a speaking doll, about
the time Maelzel’s puppets were exciting attention. A camera-lucida
with steel mirrors, by which one part of the eye received, by reflec-
tion, the impression of the object, and another part the direct
impression of the pencil and paper beneath, without the interposi-
tion of any foreign medium, was constructed by him, and is a
neat and useful instrument. ”

Gotz has gained notoriety by his satirical medals issued during
the war. Pie is, says Mr. Hill, one of the more competent craftsmen
among German war medallists, as is shown by his modelling in the
medals of the Crown Prince, or by his design for the reverse of
the medal of Mackensen. He has two styles. One of them, exemplified
in the pieces just mentioned, is intended to appeal to those who are
familiar with the works of the Renaissance. His medal of Admiral
von Tirpitz, whether consciously or not, is artistically a lineal
descendant of Joachim Deschler’s medal of Hieronymus Baum-
gartner, a Nuremberg churchwarden of the sixteenth century —
which is itself one of the richest instances of unconscious humour
in the whole world of art. Gotz’s other style is exemplified in the
Lusitania medal ; it corresponds to the satirical print, and makes no

all the details that it is thought will amuse the populace.
On the obverse the Lusitania , loaded with munitions and aeroplanes, and

Landing of a Zeppelin at Luneville, 1913.
On the reverse, Death at the office of the Cunard Line selling tickets to a
crowd of passengers; one of them is holding a newspaper with the words :

Gotz’s medal of the Crown Prince, Mr. Hill criticises in the
following terms :

“The portrait of the Crown Prince on a large medal by-Gotz is
said to be a good likeness; but, if that is so, the caricaturist’s
occupation is surely gone. The Italian medallists of the Renaissance,
whom some of the German school have studied with considerable
care, were ruthless in their exposure of the vicious qualities of
some of their sitters ; but they never failed to render at the same
time that touch of distinction, of nobility, which is characteristic
of the gentlemen of the Italian Renaissance. But we must doubtless
make allowance for the difference of race. This medal of the Crown
Prince has on its reverse a figure of the young hero Siegfried
attacking with his broadsword the four-headed dragon which
symbolises the Triple Entente united with Belgium. Nothing but
a failure of the authorities to see the significance of the contrast
between the relentless portrait on the obverse and the Wagnerian
hero on the reverse can account for the omission to prosecute the
artist for lese-majesle ; the more so as the dragon, in spite of the
hero’s theatrical efforts, is still intact in all her features. ”

GRANDJEAN-PERRENOUD, HENRI (Swiss). Contemporary En-
graver, born on 28. April 1821 at Le Locle in theNeuchatel Jura,
died at Oakland, State of California, U.S. A., on 28: August 1887.
His father was a native of La Sagne and Les Ponts. After frequent-
ing the schools ofNeuchatel, where his parents had transferred their
domicile, he served his apprenticeship as Engraver with the firm of
E. Humbert and Rey in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and left on 16. No-
vember 1839 with an excellent certificate. For some years he worked
lor the Brothers Klentschi in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and later started
on his own account as. an Engraver and Chaser, his workshop
rapidly acquiring recognition.
He married in 1844 Reine-Melina Perrenoud of Le Locle, by
whom he had ten children, all born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, four
daughters and six sons. His wife died on 31. December 1896 at
Brugg in Aargau ; one daughter and three sons are still living, two
ol whom made brilliant careers in the United States of North
America.
The participation of Henri Grandjean-Perrenoud in universal and
international exhibitions made his name famous; he obtained a
Bronze medal in London, 1831, New7 York, 1853, Paris, 1855, a
Silver medal in Paris, 1867. His reproduction, on a Plaquette in
gold, of Leopold Robert's ££ les Moissonneurs ”, for the London
Exhibition, 1851, is a master-piece.

president of the e£ Societe des Amis des Arts” of La Chaux-de-
Fonds, which preserves of him a very fine bust, life-like, signed
Custor, 1872. It is the wTork of Custor fils, who made it at Neu-

partner of the firm of Hofer & Co. of Zurich). His wife and
several of his children joined him there not long after.
The National Suisse of La Chaux-de-Fonds devoted to his memory
on 28. September 1887 an eulogistic obituary notice.
Henry Grandjean-Perrenoud was very clever as a Decorator. A

GREENE, CHARLES (Brit.). Assistant-engraver at the Royal Mint,
London, appointed in 1620 in succession to John Dvcher. On the
death of William Holle, Edward and John Gilbert were jointly
elected to fill the vacancy. In the early part of Charles I’s reign,
John Gilbert and Edward Greene held the joint office of Chief-
engravers, with Charles Greene as their assistant. He died in 1633.
GREENE, EDWARD (B.D.M., Vol. II, p. 313). Chief-engraver at
the Royal Mint, London, first in conjunction with John Gilberts
from the death of William Holle, 1624 to 1628, when Gilbert
retired with a pension of £ 50, then alone until his death shortly
before Christmas, 16-14.
“In the twelve months ending March 31, 1626, “states
Mr. Symonds, ” Edward Greene received £ 220 for making patterns
for six kinds of gold and seven kinds of silver coins, and for his
pains during eight months. These probably represent the first issue
of money by the new king. On April 16, 1625, a warrant directs
Edward Greene to make and engrave the great seals of England and
Ireland and other smaller seals.; a second order authorizes him to
take up four men for the more speedy despatch of the work. A
strange contradiction of these two warrants arises on September 4,
1626, when the king instructs Briot to make the seal of England,
an incident quite typical of the cross currents which developed at
the Tower. ” (Cf. Hy. Symonds, Engravers of the Tudor and Stuart
Periods, Mow. Chron., 1913, pp. 362, 365.)
Miss Farquhar, in a paper read before the Royal Numismatic
Society, May 20, 1908, suggested that as the Laurels, Half-Laurels,
and Quarter-Laurels issued during the reign of James I. are of
inferior work to the Rose-royal, Spur-royal, and Angel, they were
executed not by Holle, but by John Gilbert and Edward Greene,
who worked on into the reign of Charles I. This would account

Antoinette, by this artist, realized 22.500 francs. A sardonyx inta-
glio, with head of Mercury, in possession of Messrs Spink & Son
Ld in 1905, was signed J.G.
Guay, cc says Dalton”, must be counted among the greatest ot
the eighteenth century Engravers ; though the influence of his
master, Boucher, is apparent in his work, which is less remarkable
for strength than grace, his style has a spontaneity and freshness
which seldom fail to charm. In 1742 he went for the purposes of
his art to Florence, afterwards visiting Rome, where he remained
studying the antique. On his return to Paris, he produced several
intaglios with symbolic or mythologic subjects after designs by
Bouchardon. The interest taken in his work by Mme de Pompadour
made his fortune.

the Medal of Alfonso of Aragon, with bust in profile (p. 331, n° 8),
commemorating the Victory over the Florentines at Poggio Impe-
riale in 1499. He is inclined to give it to Bertoldo di Giovanni,
with whose style it much more corresponds ; on the ground of the
softer modelling and the character of the lettering. As far as the
goes, this seems to hold, but on the obv. the letter A is given as
Bishop Girolamo Santucci, by Spinelli.
A, a peculiarity which does not occur in Bertoldo’s work, but is
present in Guazzalotti’s medal of Pius II. Since we know that
Bertoldo di Giovanni cast medals for Guazzalotti, the most likely
hypothesis would seem to be that the obv. is by Guazzalotti and
the 1^4, by Bertoldo.
We must further take away from Guazzalotti the medals of
Bishop Girolamo Santucci and Constanza Bentivoglio, which pro-
bably belong to Spinelli ; also that of Pope Innocent VIII. with the
three allegorical figures on I^C.
Prof. Bode says : “To Andrea Guazzalotti, an ecclesiastical
amateur with some superficial skill in portraiture, but entirely
without initiative, who borrowed the figures for the reverse of
his medals from those of other artists, some of these very medals
have been attributed. ”
GUBE, HEINRICH ( B.D.M. , Vol. II, p. 333). To this Engraver

HANDMANN, JOHANN JAKOB I Vol. II, p. 415). Mint-

buried on 13. June of that year. In 1748 he had been elected u

initials, whilst the undated Half and Quarter Ducats (if. 1 14 and
1 18) cannot be assigned with certainty to the one or the other

covering the frontier during the Franco-Prussian war are signed
J.J.H.li. Cf. M. A. Ruegg, op. tit,, p. 17.

declaration of war by the United States and of the National Alliance
with other countries for the preservation of Democracy throughout
the world. Uniface medal JR 87, representing the American Eagle,
claimed to be the most life-like portrayal of an eagle ever produced

HATTEM, JEAN VAN ( B.D.M. , Vol. II, p. 439). Appointed
Engraver (graveur particular) at the Brussels Mint, in succession
to Pierre Meulemans, 8. March 1672. Three months later, on 29.
May, he was named Engraver-general of H.M.’s coins in place of
Michel van Thielt, who had just died, but he did not enter upon
his new office before 14. January 1673. M. de Witte, from whom
these details are culled (Jean van Hattem, graveur bruxellois de
Mommies el de felons , Revue beige de numismatique, 1914) remarks
that, although previously but one Engraver-general existed for the
Spanish Netherlands, the government did not wait for the decease
of Van Hattem to appoint, on 3. August 1686, Philip Roettiers as
First Engraver-general. Van Hattem left the Minton 21. September
1691. Between 1672 and 1691 the following denominations were
coined at Brussels, the dies tor which were prepared by this Engra-
ver : N. Double Sovereigns, Sovereigns; — JR.. Ducatoons, Half
Ducatoons, Patagons, Half Patagons, and Sols; dE. Liards and
Gigots. These coins form a veritable i conographic series of
Charles II of Spain.
Besides the fine jeton already mentioned with the arms of Jacques
Pipenpoy, and dated i6y2,M. A. de Witte describes the following:
Jeton of the same, 1675 ; signed : H. F. ; — Jeton of the Franc of
Bruges, 1686; similarly signed : — 1674. Jeton of Jacques Pipen-
poy; — 1 67 5 . Jeton of Philippe-Godefroy Van de Wouwere; —
1676. Jeton of J. L. Madoets; — 1677. Jeton of Jean Pools; —
1678. jeton of Jean Heymans; — 1679- Jeton of Philippe-Godefroid
Van de Wouwere;- — 1680. Jeton of Jean Heymans; — 1681. The
same; — 1682. Jeton of Georges-Ignace van Eesbeke, dit vander
Haegen ; — 1683. Jeton of Theodore d’Elshout, dit van Heusden;
— 1684. Jeton of Jean Heymans; — 1685. The same ; 1686. Jeton
of Guillaume van Hamme; — 1687. Jeton of Jacques Madoets.
It is not certain whether Jean van Hattem ever engraved any
medals. A certain Gabriel Grupello was paid on 1. January 1684
48 livres for a Portrait-medal of Charles II. As Grupello was a
sculptor incapable of die-sinking and Van Hattem was his friend, it
is surmised that the latter engraved the steel dies from a probable
model by Grupello. It is however known that the artist executed a
number of Pilgrims’ badges.

having designed and executed the Maisonneuve Monument, besides
others in Montreal and throughout the Province. His first attempt
in the medal line was that struck in 1900 for J. Israel Tarte, which
while somewhat crude, especially in the design of the reverse, shows
flashes of the art by which he produced the masterpiece described
below, the Lieutenant Governor Leblanc Medal, 1915 :

HEDLEY, PERCIVAL, M. F. (Brit.). Mr. Hedley is the grandson of
the late Joseph H. Hedley, a former British Vice-Consul in Cairo,
himself a landscape painter of no mean order, and whose brother,
William, is mainly known for his construction of “Puffing Billy”,
the first locomotive ever built in England. His father, Professor
Florance H. Hedley, of the Consular Academy in Vienna, distin-
guished himself likewise in the arts of painting and modelling, while
his relatives on his mother’s side were all noted sculptors, painters
and architects. Small wonder, then, that the artistic element soon
became manifest in young Percival, who, in fact, began modelling
at the early age of four. He was apprenticed to the famous sculptor,
Joseph Beyer, in whose studio he worked for four years. During
the last year he entered the Academy ol Fine Arts in Vienna, and
passed the three years’ course in one year under Prof. Hellmer lor
sculpture, and Prof. Niemann for architecture, and also attended
the lectures on . anatomy by Profs. Toldt and Dalla Rosa at the Uni-
versity, and lectures on pathology and demonstrations in surgery at
the Hospital by the famous Prof. Billroth, the intimate friend ol
Johannes Brahms. Comparative zootomy under Bruehl and archaeo-
logy under Bendorff formed likewise part of his studies at the Uni-
versity, and last, not least, the theory of music under Anton
Bruckner, and musical history under Prof. Hanslick.
While still with his master he assisted in the sculpture of groups
and statues for the new House of Parliament, the Town Hall, the
Burgtheater, the Art Galleries, the Natural History Museums, in
short, almost all the monumental buildings which have sprung up

in the Austrian Capital during the past three decades, and which
give Vienna that distinctly artistic and modern appearance for which
she is known and admired.
At the comparatively early age of eighteen he set up his own
studio, and one of his first patrons was the Archduchess Marie
Therese, sister-in-law of the Emperor Francis Joseph. He made a
hit with the life-size bust of that Princess, which brought him many
commissions from the Imperial house and members of the aristo-
cracy .
About 1890 Mr. Hedley started on a prolonged journey through
Italy, and on his return to Vienna was commissioned to create a
number of busts of composers for the International Music Exhibi-
tion, and it was then and there that he first commenced his
“Famous Musicians”, a task to which he has ever since devoted
most of his attention. It is an interesting fact that — if we dispense
with those hideous German china busts which are a disgrace and
an insult to refined taste. — there is, with one or two notable excep-
tions, scarcely a plastic representation of any of our foremost com-
posers and musicians.
At Vienna, and in the course of his travels, Mr. Hedley made
the personal acquaintance of almost every contemporary musician
of note, and most of them were added “ in effigy” to his gallery.
Many of these acquaintances ripened into warm friendships. For
twelve years, in fact, up to the master’s sad end, he remained in
close touch with Brahms, and the portraits he did during this time
are justly considered the best likenesses of the great composer.
In 1893 we find the artist again in Italy, this time as a painter.
After his return, he took up his abode in Vienna, where, with the
exception of a short sojourn in Munich, he remained until 1897,
when he left that city — to start on a tramp through Europe for the
purpose of painting a large number of landscapes, commissioned by
a Fine Art Company in Austria. This pilgrimage was extended
over a period of about two years, and ended, after another stay in
his beloved Rome, in his settling for a time in England, to devote
his time and energy to his country.
Since his return to England he has contributed to the Royal
Academy, and most of the Provincial Art Galleries. His splendid
bronze bust of Sir Edward Elgar was shown at the Royal Academy,
and his plaque in silver of Mmc Clara Butt — the very first specimen
executed in -this new style — has been acquired by the late King.
His remarkably clever plaquette of Paderewski was purchased by
the Belgian Government, and in connection with the present exhi-
bition he has gained distinction through his charming design of the
official Exhibition medal and stamp.
The plaques in oxidized silver constitute the latest achievement

of the artist. He depicts his. subject thoroughly after hi^ own heart
and his plaques show a variety of attitudes hitherto rarely seen in
plastic art. There is no stiffness, no constraint, no posing. Although
entirely free from conventionalism Hedley can hardly be styled a
modern artist as “modernity” is understood, nowadays, and
though his portraits are essentially impressions, he is not an
Impressionist ; in fact, he belongs to no special creed ; he is an
artist, free and natural, with a characteristic style which is all his
own.
It is interesting to note that all his latest creations, as for instance
some of the Elgar portraits, the plaques of Dr. Richter, Mrae Clara
Butt, Arthur Nikisch, Miss Lily Elsie, Lewis Waller, Pelissier,
etc., etc. were impressions fixed upon the mind and entirely repro-
duced from internal reflection. . He very rarely requires “sittings”,
and even it he does ask his subjects to his studio he seldom works in
their presence, merely contenting himself with a chat over a cup of
tea, in order to study their character and peculiarities.
Portrait-medal of Dr Elgar, by Hedley.
It is this power of observation, and the unusual faculty of retain-
ing the characteristics and details of the features, combined with
the complete mastery over all technical difficulties, which lies at
the bottom of his extraordinary success.
To repeat a recent remark of a well-known sculptor, “ Hedley’s
plaques are veritable paintings”, and indeed they give more the
impression of pictures than sculptures.
The artist is now (1920) residing at Geneva (Switzerland).

HENNING, JOHN ( B.D.M. , Vol. II, p. 477). This artist began
life as a carpenter, and did not take to art as a vocation until he
had reached the mature age of forty. His great work, which he
achieved in twelve years, was the restoration of the Parthenon and
Phygalian friezes. These he reproduced in miniature for sale.
Henning was born on 2. May 1771; his father Samuel Henning
was a carpenter and cabinet-maker. In the year 1799 he made his
first attempt at modelling, after seeing some wax medallions at Sir
Henry Raeburn’s studio at Edinburgh, where he had gone on a
Portrait of John Henning.
visit. His first Portrait-medallion was that of a comrade of his, A.
Woodrow, “a strong though a coarse likeness”. Acquaintances
teased him to model their portraits, and soon, from his own imme-
diate neighbourhood, sitters came to him to have their medallion-
portraits in wax.
Early in 1800 he made the acquaintance of a Mr James Monteith
at Glasgow, who induced him to leave the carpenter’s bench and
follow his artistic tastes. From that date, his fame went on increas-

ing, and among his sitters we find such names as Lord Jeffrey; —
Lord Murray; — Lord Brougham; — Francis Horner; — Mrs.
Siddons, and many other celebrities.
In 1811 he came to London, where he henceforth resided. The
work of reproducing the Elgin marbles was succeeded by others of
almost equal value ; the cartoons and the Transfiguration of
Raffaello, engraved in intaglio, in the same delicate and beautiful
style. In this undertaking the father was assisted by his son, who
followed the profession. Other works in relief were executed by the
same united hands, among which may be mentioned the friezes on
Hyde Park Gate, of which John Henning Jun. furnished the designs ;
those on the Athenaeum Club House, and a diplomatic box engrav-
ed in steel, after Flaxman. These works, together with numberless
medallions and busts, occupied the sculptor until 1846. He died in
1851, aged 80 years.
There is a commemorative medal by him of the Battle of
Waterloo, 18 r 5, and Messrs Spink have had Portrait-medallions in

the “ Formschneider ” or figure-cutter (engraver on wood). Sir John
Evans (Num. Chron., 1904, p. 355) states “ that ill the town-books
of Nuremberg, the term Formschneider first occurs in 1449, and it
is found in subsequent years mentioned on the same page with
Karlenmaler , so that the business of a wood-engraver proper and
that of the card-maker were distinct. The meaning of the word

“ form ” or “ forma ” is almost precisely the same in most of the
European languages, and it has been erroneously explained in its
relation to wood-engraving as signifying a mould, whereas it simply
means a shape or figure. In course of time, however, the word
“ form ” declined from its primary signification as a model, and
came to be used as expressive both of a model and a mould. The
term “ Formschneider ” which was originally used to distinguish the
professed engraver of figures from the mere engraver and colourer
of playing cards, is still used in Germany to denote what we term
a wood-engraver.
In all the Nuremberg documents Hieronymus Andreae’s name
always occurs as “ Hieronymus Formschneider”.
The letters H.F. occur on a Portrait-medal of Hans Haiger ;
35 mill, (illustrated in Frankfurter Mim^eitimg, 1914, p. 235 ; a
doubtful specimen was in the Lobbecke Sale, Cat. PI. XVIII).
Formschneider was Engraver of dies at the Nuremberg Mint
from at least 1535 until 1542. He was dismissed from his office in
December of that year for unwise talking, and although he applied
on numerous occasions for reinstatement, we know that his post
had been definitely given to Wenzel Jamnitzer, who retained it
until 1559. Formschneider died on 7. May 1556.
Gebert is convinced that this Engraver was the author of the
medal of Haiger in question, and probably of many other contem-
porary Portrait pieces, hitherto unascribed, but the medals described
in the Lobbecke Catalogue under the Master H. F. do not belong
together. Cf. C.F. Gebert, Der Niirnberger Meister H.F., Frank-
furter Miini^eitung, 1914, pp. 235-239.

State of Hidalgo received its name. So far as collectors know, there
was no regular issue of coins by Hidalgo, although there Is no ques-

tion but that he issued necessity pieces with the use of a counter-
mark. Only a few of them have fallen into the hands of collectors
and been preserved. It is probable that no great quantity was coun-
termarked, and that most of them were destroyed by the Spanish
Government there.
“ Two specimens of this currency bearing the countermark have
appeared in recent Sale Catalogues of a foreign dealer. One is upon
a segment of a Spanish 8-Real piece of 1794; the other is upon a
silver-gilt religious medal. The countermarking of medals to make
them pass as currency is an unusual proceeding. The countermark
reads : 4 R MON . PROV . DI HIDALGO . MO.
“ In offering this countermarked medal the cataloguer said
(translation) : “This piece is extremely rare and most interesting,
for neither in the celebrated Fonrobert collection nor in this one
is there to be found a religious medal of Our Lady of San Juan of
the Lakes, nor even an obsidional coin of Hidalgo. This unique piece
under consideration came from the Bergsoe collection, second part,
sold under my direction on September 28 and 29, 1903. 1 purchased
it at that time for a collector of obsidional coins, which collection
was dispersed later and the piece acquired by the late Mr. Salbach.
In my sale of the A.L. collection on January 9 last, another obsi-
dional coin of Hidalgo, from the same Bergsoe collection, is des-
cribed. ”.
“ Father Hidalgo was born in Mexico on May 8, 1753, and had
from the time of his ordination served as a curate or assistant
priest in the town of Dolores, State of Guanajuato. In opposition to
the wishes of the Spanish Government, Father Hidalgo had taught
his parishioners how to grow mulberry trees and vines and pro-
pagate the silk worm. When news of his action reached official
Mexico, in 1810, agents of the Viceroy, accompanied by troops,
appeared at Dolores and destroyed the vineyards, cut down the
mulberry trees, and put all other industries that were under the
official ban, out of commission. In destroying this evidence of
industry among the people of Dolores they also fanned the smoul-
dering fire of revolution into a fiercely burning flame, and the
revolt burst forth almost before the troops had returned to their
barracks in the City of Mexico. Father Hidalgo was then nearly
60 years of age, but he solemnly swore that so long as God was
pleased to permit him to live, so long would he devote his energies
to the annihilation of Spanish rule in Mexico. He immediately
began a campaign of exhortation among his own people, and by
the autumn he felt that the time was ripe to strike the blow. His
declaration of independence was prepared and his flag made. Having
drawn his patriots together, on the r 6th of September, 1810, they
started on their march to Guantanamo, where they were received

with open arms. In the treasury there Hidalgo found $ 1,000,000,
which was sent north as a war fund. On its march the army w^as
increased in every city through which it passed. At Valladolid he
was joined by Father Morelos, the curate there. When the army
was within a few miles of Mexico City, Hidalgo counselled it to
postpone the attack until it was better able, through training, to
meet the troops in that city. In January, 1811, Hidalgo left the
army in charge of General Rayon and proceeded toward Texas to
obtain the equipment necessary to his cause. Unfortunately, as he
was nearing Texas, in June, he was betrayed by a former friend
named Elizondo into the hands of the Spaniards, and he, with
three of his chiefs, Jimenez, Almada and Santa Maria, was shot
on the 30th of July. The heads of all four were placed on pikes and
exhibited in the city of Guanajuato. Twelve years later, by decree
of the nation, the bodies of these men were removed with venera-
tion to the City of Mexico and deposited beneath the Altar of the
Three Kings under the dome of the Cathedral.
“ Father Hidalgo was succeeded in command of the patriots by
Father Morelos, who, four years later, suffered the same fate as
his predecessor at the hands of the Spaniards.

Mr. Hy. Symonds, Engravers of the Tudor and Stuart Periods,
Num. Chron., 1913, 361; Mr. H.A. Grueber, Num. Chron.,
1907, p. 346, and Miss Farquhar in Vol. VIII (1905), p. 273 have
contributed valuable information in connection with the work of
this Engraver, which proves him to have been a fit successor to the
Anthonys. “In the twelve months ending March 31, 1620, he was
paid £ 120 for making twenty-six patterns, stamps, and irons for
the coining of the newly made gold moneys ; this occupied him for
half a year” (Symonds, p. 361).
Mr. Grueber tells us that Holle was the first engraver of music
on copper plates in this country and records a number of his works ;
he further associates him with the coinage of 1619, which shows
variations in the types of the Rose-ryal, Spur-ryal, and Angel, and
inaugurates new types for the Sovereign, Half, and Quarter-sove-
reign, which received the name of Laurels, Half-laurels, and Quarter-
laurels on account of the bust of the king being represented with
a laurel-crown. Miss Farquhar however is of opinion that the laurel
and its parts which are of rough design and uneven workmanship
and much resemble the earlier coins of Charles I, should perhaps
be attributed to John Gilbert or Edward Green, who were employed
as engravers at the Mint in a subordinate capacity.
At the Meeting of May 20. 1908, Royal Numismatic Society,
Miss Helen Farquhar read some ‘ Notes on William Hole or Holle’,
who in 1618 was appointed “ Head sculptor of the Iron for money
in the Tower” and who was generally supposed to have held that
post till the appointment of Nicholas Briot in 1633. From the
‘ Calendar of State Papers, Domestic Series’, it appears, however,
that Holle died in 1624, and was succeeded in his office by John
Gilbert and Edward Green. Miss Farquhar suggested that as the
laurels, half-laurels, and quarter-laurels issued during the reign of
James I. are of inferior work to the rose-royal, spur-royal, and
angel, they were executed not by Holle, but by John Gilbert and

would account for the similarity of the fabric of the latest coins of
James I. and the earliest of Charles I.

JACKSON, JOHN ( B.D.M ,, Vol. Ill, p. 41). In the year 1749,
this Engraver was making his most ingenious imitations of medals
in wood, executed entirely on the lathe, a feat which even now
seems marvellous, and a hundred and fifty years ago would surely
be more wonderful. In this manner he produced a number of heads
of personages of note, among them the Duke of Cumberland, Sir
Isaac Newton, and Pope Alexander VIII. These were frequently
bordered with an eccentric geometrical design, which belongs to
the class of engine-turning. Jackson’s process would scarcely have
been applicable to the sinking of dies, as the details of the portraits
in his medallions are not cut with precision or depth enough to
produce a clear impression, but it may well be that he engraved the
dies for the geometrical borders and engine-turned reverses.

JEUFFROY, ROMAIN VINCENT (B.D.M., Vol. Ill, 71). From “ La
Chronique des Arts ” we have extracted the following :
Ne en 1749 a Rouen, il se rendit en 1770 a Naples, ou il resta
jusqu’en 1780. Rappele a Paris, mais refuse a l’Academie des Beaux-
Arts, malgre les promesses qu’on lui avait faites, il y resta jusque
vers 1787, s’attacha ensuite a la cour princiere des Lubomirski,
sejourna environ vers 1790 a Varsovie, puis dans le domaine
d’Opole, propriete des Lubomirski, jusque vers 1805, retourna a
Paris, y devint directeur de 1’Ecole de gravure en pierres et de la
Monnaie, et mourut en 1826 a Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
Le chateau de la famille Lubomirski, a Przeworsk (peut-etre aussi
celui de Lancut, tous deux en Galicie), conserve certainement des
oeuvres inconnues du maitre, dotit on n’a decrit que trente a
quarante environ.
Comme, d’autre part, on n’a jamais signale les deux camees (il
taillait tres rarement des camees) que le collectionneur d’antiquites
nomme Schmidt-Cionzynski, connu autrefois aussi a Paris, legua au
Musee national de Cracovie, il n’est pas inutile d’en donner la
description suivante que je dois a l’obligeance de M. Koperd, direc-
teur de ce musee :
Invent. n° 1724. Camee. Jaspe a 2 couches, la couche superieure
couleur cafe, la couche inferieure foncee. Buste d’une jeune femme.
Signer Jeuffroy. Hauteur: 20 millimetres; largeur : 13 millimetres.
Invent. n° 1741. Camee. Agatonyx a 2 couches, la couche supe-
rieure d’une blancheur lactee, la couche inferieure transparente .
Buste d’un abbe, le regard tourne vers la droite. Signe : Jeuffroy.
Sur le revers l’inscription suivante :
Donne par S . A . Em .
Le Prince Primat
A . M . et Mme Degerando
Paris, 1808.
The unique specimen in lead of the Descente en Angleterre
medal by this artist was sold by Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson and
Hodge on April 6, 1906 for £21 (now in the British Museum).
It was thus described in the Sale Catalogue by Mr. W.J. Webster:
Lot 148. trial piece in lead, from the die of the original and
very rare Napoleon medal relating to the intended Invasion of
England ; obv. Laureated and nude bust of Napoleon to right,

below, jeuffroy fecit, and denon direxit in two lines; fyL. des-
cents en angleterre, Hercules standing, squeezing a Triton to
death, and in the exergue, frappee a londres — en 1804 in two
lines, with plain edge, a fine medal of great historical interest.
*** The dies of this medal were engraved in Paris at the time
when Napoleon was preparing his expedition against England, and
after the taking of London (?) they were intended to have been
used there. As the invasion did not take place, the medal was never
struck. There is said to be only one impression in lead known :
this was in the cabinet of Dr Burney, who sold this with other
medals to Mr. Charles Stokes in 1846 or 47, from whom the pre-
sent owner obtained it. Somewhat later, copies of this medal were
struck in France and England, on which a head bv Droz was substi-
Descente en Angleterre, 1804.
tuted for that by Jeuffroy, and the former head was also used for
several other medals of the Imperial series. The work on the reverse
of these copies is, however, less delicately treated, the word
frappee in the exergue of the original is incorrectly written frappe
on the imitations, and the edge (on some) bears an inscription in
raised letters, medal | copied | from the | french. The latter were
struck at Birmingham.

This firm was established in 1836, but did not come into note
until 1866, when the works were transferred to the present
commodious buildings, which in late years have been greatly
extended, under the able direction of Comm. Federigo Johnson
and his son, Signor Stefano Johnson, who on one of my visits to
Milan, in the spring of 1912, had the kindness to show me over
the works and allowed me to inspect the Museum, which contains
specimens of the coins, medals, plaques, bronzes, statuettes, etc.,
produced by the firm, as well as a collection of Roman coins and
an extensive series of Portrait-medals connected with Italian history
from the earliest times, a large section being devoted to the prolific
mementoes of the Risorgimento.

JONES, JOHN {B.D.M., Vol. Ill, p. 82). Born about 1798, died
about 1875. From Strickland’s Dictionary of Irish Artists, I, p. 556,
we cull the following details : “ He commenced his career in a
subordinate capacity in the establishment of the younger Mossop,
in Dublin, and there learned his art. After Mossop’s death in 1827
he set up for himself, and from 1830 to 1838 was established at
78 Dame Street as a Die-sinker and Medallist. In 1839 and 1840 he
was in America where he made some money ; and returning to
Dublin he resumed his former business, which he carried on at 45
Marlborough St. from 1841 to 1866, and afterwards until 1875 at
37 Summer Hill. Clever artist though he was he met wdth but
little encouragement. Writing in 1843 the Rev. R. Dawson says :
“ His tools and presses are now rusting in his workshop, and- a
talented professional native educated in an excellent school has the
mortification of finding himself neglected and English artists
employed to record Irish events. ” (Transactions of R.I. Academy,
Vol- XIX, 1843). “ Besides executing several medals of merit,
notably that for the Royal Agricultural Society, Jones struck some
from Mossop’s design and dies. ”
A full description of Jones’s medals will be found in the Kilkenny
Archaeological Society’s Journal, Vol. XVIII, p. 320. One I have

tures, pp. 200-224. — Arturo Sam bon, Incisor i Siracusani del
V secolo a. C.e dei primordi del IV. — Tudeer, Die Telradrachmen-
prdgung von Syrakus in der Periode der sign. Kiinsller, Zeits. f. Num.,
I9I3)-
Dr Sambon places Kimon’s activity in the period after circa B.C.
412 to 400.
The coin of Metapontum (Vol. Ill, p. 158; Notes, p. 221) attri-
buted to Kimon on a faulty reading by Garrucci (KIMflN instead
of I NON), of which a specimen in M. Jameson’s collection reads
TEPINON is simply a contemporary forgery. This fact disposes of
Kimon’s activity at Metapontum.
Kimon’s connection with the coinage of cities in Magna Graecia
is now strongly doubted by Sir Arthur Evans himself, and also
Sambon and Tudeer. Kimon was probably not a native of Magna

Graecia like Phrygillos. The coins of Terina and Messina are cer-
tainly not original works of the Syracusan Kimon. Sir Arthur
Evans “ after having brilliantly demonstrated that Kimon was the
first to create the types of the agonistic decadrachms, proposes now
to connect the creation of these exceptional coins with the first
celebration of the Assinarian games in 412, and the festive manifes-
tations, which after the conclusion ot peace with the Carthaginians,
served to mask the chains of tyranny of the clever Dionysios ”
(Sambon, p. 43). To the year 409 belongs the facing type of Are-
thusa on the tetradrachms.
First Type.
Dr Sambon gives the following characteristics of the three distinc-
tive manners in the Dekadrachms which are attributed to him: —
“In the first type, Kimon has kept to the style which we will
call “ pictorial ”, and which consists of broad lines delicately veiled.
The nymph’s profile displays very fine features and a pleasant aspect,
the mouth with a delicate smile playing about it, the eyes fixed
above with a benign look, the forehead fugitive, the hair neatly
arranged under and around the elegant netted opisthosphendone. The
bold relief at the truncation of the neck distinctly accentuates the
inflection of the shoulders and adds delicacy to the fine profile. A
dolphin, flattened under the neck, completes the illusory impression
of the bust.
Second Type.

— 503 —
“ In the second type, Kimon completely changes his style. The
sentiment of the sculptor takes the ascendant ; the medallist auda-
ciously renounces the effeminate dictates of Syracusan glyptics, and
calling to remembrance the glorious forms by Phidias and Poly-
kleites, concentrates in the restricted space of the medal, both the
love of strength detached from the form, and the search after the
magnificent thrills of the soul. The head is in bold relief, with a
vigorous display of shadows; the features are strong, the mouth
disdainful, the nostrils distended, the look downwards and thought-
ful, the hair ending in fluttering curls. The effect is marvellous and
gives the impression of a monumental work seen from afar. In this
strong head, of grand formal truth, impregnated so strongly with
sentiment that the intellectual vision completely dominates the sen-
sual, and with that expression of disdainful sadness, Kimon rises to
that perfect idealism which magnifies the impressions through strong
heart-beats.
Third Type.
“ A third type of the dekadrachm shows instead a head with
more human aspect, with less intense expression. The artist, in
returning to the first majestic cast, has endeavoured to correct and
to bring to perfection, but in correcting plastic defects he has nearly
annulled or at least decreased the noble expression of calm and
thoughtful sadness, which was the greatest asset of the former
work. The conformation of the head is indeed better, and some
defects in the lines disappear, but the more open eye, the marked
pupil, the useless accentuation of the eye-lashes, the small mouth,
the greater detail of the hair, do not add to the gracefulness, and
only cloud the expression” (Sambon, Incisori siracusani, p. 43).
Varieties occur of these three types, some of which have been
described in Vol. II. A number of very beautiful specimens of
types II and III came on the market in Munich and Vienna in 1913
from a Sicilian find. Two of Type II are worth mentioning.
Egger Sale, XLV 12, XI 13. Lot 383. Only three locks visible
on neck, instead of four. Brought £452.10.0.

Egger Sale, XLV 12, XI 13. Lot 386. Dolphins differently
arranged. Brought £ 250 .
Of type III, a specimen brought £ 625. Egger Sale XLV 12, XI
13. Lot 380.
A few specimens from fractured dies of type II also came for sale.
One was acquired by the British Museum.
The first types of the gold coin of 100 Litrae (Vol. II, p. 152,
n° 5), created by Kimon, circa B.C.405, have the same eminently
sculptural character as the dekadrachms of the second type. Their
issue corresponds with the change made at Lampsacus in coining
pure gold instead of electrum.
Kimon’s head on the second type of his dekadrachms occurs on
one tetradrachm (Vol. II, p. 152, n° 4) but the rarity of this coin
proves that the issue must have been a very limited one.
Kimon’s facing head of Arethusa occurs on two varieties ot
Tetradrachms. Dr Sambon has detected on what he calls the coins
struck from Kimon’s original dies the artist’s signature KIMjQN on
the rigid band confining the clusters of fluttering curls.
The second type which bears the signature KIMHN on the ampyx,
is according to Dr Sambon, the work of a copyist. All the best
specimens show the letters ZH on the left of the head, on either
side of dolphin’s head between two curls. The nymph’s head is
enclosed in a circle of large dots ; the dolphin on the right is of
inferior design.
Tetradrachm of Syracuse, by Kimon.

* *
Kimon’s influence on the coinage of Terina has been demonstrated
by Sir Arthur J. Evans in a paper on the Engravers of Terina and
Signature of Evaenetos ( Num . Chron., 1912, pp. 21-62). On PI. V he
illustrates the particular type (n° 1), corresponding to Regling
( Terina ), PI. I, ll, PI. Ill, gw, wv, on which he remarks: “The
elaborate treatment of the hair as well as the starred bag of the
sphendone suggest Syracusan comparisons — a suggestion which
gains in force when we regard the face of Nike Terina herself as
here portrayed. The proud profile with which these luxuriant
Digitized by

details are associated can hardly fail to call up the features of the
goddess of the Syracusan £C medallions ” in Kimon’s third manner.
To me at least the head of this Terinaean type conveys the strong
impression that, if not from the actual hand of Kimon, it was
executed in his atelier, and under his immediate inspiration
Didrachm ot Terina.

“ Francis X. Koehlerwas born in Swabish Gmund, Wiirttemberg,
on October 8, 1818. He received his first instructions in the art of
engraving from his mother, who was an engraver of jewelry in his
native town. Later he went to Stuttgart, where he served an
apprenticeship as a goldsmith and die-cutter, and where he was
employed until 1850, when he came to Baltimore. For a short time
after his arrival in the United States he was in the employ of Jacob
Seeger, a silver-plater, with whose card all collectors are familiar.
In 1851 he began business as a manufacturing jeweller and die-cutter
on New Church street near Sharp. In 1853 he removed to 124
West Fayette street, and the following year to 140 West Fayette
tsreet, and remained there until 1863. At that time the demand for
his services as a die-cutter caused him to relinquish the manufac-
ture of jewelry, and he removed to Liberty and Marion streets, and
later to 11 North Liberty street, where he remained until 1869. In
that year he removed to 54 German street, and in 1879 to 20
German street, where he conducted the business until a year before
his death, which occurred March 22, 1886.
“ One of the earliest pieces of work by Koehler was the
Wreckers’ Medal, struck for presentation to the lifesavers of our
sea coast for services in saving the lives and property of ship-
wrecked mariners.
“ Other pieces by Koehler were the Award Medal of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Co. for faithful services, on the obverse
of which is shown the railroad viaduct on the B.& O. at Relay,
Md. ; the Award Medal of the Cape Fear Agricultural Association
of Wilmington, N.C., and the Award Medal of the Jackson-Hope
Virginia Military Institute, besides anniversary medals for local
institutions and commemorative issues.
tc Koehler enjoyed the friendship of and an intimate acquaintance
with Anthony C. Paquet, one of the assistant engravers at the
Philadelphia Mint under Longacre, and frequently entertained him
at his home on the latter’s visits to Baltimore.
“ Koehler was a member of most of the German socities of
Baltimore, and was for a number of years vice-president of the
Concordia German Association. Most of these societies issued cards,
the work of Koehler”.
KOELBEL, RUDOLPH ( Germ .). Born at Berlin in 1826, studied
medal-engraving there under Professor Karl Fischer; was appointed
Court-medallist and Engraver at Oldenburg in 1857, and filled that
post for many years. His signature R. KOLBEL occurs as late as 1878
on the silver Medal for Merit in Arts, instituted by the Grand Duke
Nicolaus Friedrich Peter.

Krug, and at first his assistant at the Nuremberg mint. In the
twenties of the sixteenth century he went to Hungary. The works

KUNER, GEORGE FERDINAND ALBRECHT (B.D.M., Vol. Ill,
p. 247). ‘‘ More familiarly known as ALBERT KUNER, was born at
Lindau, October 9, 1819, learning there the business of a Gold and
Silversmith. When he first came to the United States, in the latter
part of 1848, he intended to follow the occupation of cameo cutting,
in which he was particularly skilful; but, like many others, he was
attracted to California by the marvellous gold discoveries, and
arrived in San Francisco, July 16, 1849.
“ There being a great need for a die-cutter and seal-engraver,
Mr. Kiiner entered the employ of Moffat & Co., who were then
smelting and assaying gold, and engraved the dies for the first Ten
Dollar piece of private manufacture to be issued on the coast,
which bore the stamp of Moffat & Co. Among other dies he cut
those for the Seal of California, all the medals awarded bv the
Mechanics’ Institute, and hundreds of others issued along the
Pacific Coast for various purposes from 1849 until within a few
vears of his death.
“ He started in business for himself in October 1846, in Clay

Street, next moving to Kearny, between Jackson and Pacific; but
being burned out in May, 1850, he returned to Clay Street. He was
again burned out in May, 1851, and then went to Dr Mitthall’s
building, in Montgomery, near California. In 1882 he moved to
Washington St., where he remained fifteen years. He then removed
to the building occupied by Wores, the hatter, where he continued
seventeen years. In 1884 he moved to 704 Montgomery Street,
where .he remained until 1891.
<c He was painstaking and methodical, and had a carefully pre-
pared record of each specimen of his handicraft — impressions in
wax, dies, etc., nearly a'l of which, with his papers, were destroyed
in the great fire wdren his residence at the corner of Golden Gate
Avenue and Gough Street was burned. However, a record of many
of the coins for which he cut the dies remains in his personal copy
of the book issued by Eckfeldt and Dubois in 1851. He made a
memorandum in his own handwriting over each illustration of the
various California coins engraved by him. Guided by these notes
we find that he made the dies of the N.G. & N. Five Dollar piece,
the Five and Ten Dollars of Moffat & Co, dated 1849 and 1850 ;
the Schultz & Co, Five Dollars of 1851 ; the Dunbar & Co. Five
Dollars dated 1851 ; the Baldwin Five, Ten and Twenty Dollars of
1850 and 1851 ; and the Fifty Dollar octagonal, with the denomi-
nation reading, “ Fifty Dolls ” and the name on the obverse around
the border.
c< The illustrations of the Miners’ Bank Ten Dollar, the Pacific
Company Five and Ten, the Massachusetts and California Five,
the Templeton Reid Ten and Twenty-five, the Cincinnati Mining
and Trading Company Five and Ten, the “J.S.O. ” Ten, and
the Dubosq & Co. Five and Ten Dollar coins were not marked,
and therefore were not his work.
“ He also engraved the dies for all of the coins issued by Wass,
Molitor & Co., as well as those for the Deseret Assay Office Five
Dollar piece of Utah, dated i860. Robert Schaezlein, his close
friend, says that after Mr. Kiiner received the commission to cut
the dies for this Mormon piece he showed him the first impression,
struck before the date and inscription had been added. This was
the identical gold pattern piece, presented to Brigham Young,
which is said to have hung on the watch chain of the Mormon
leader as a charm. Upon Mr. Young’s death the watch, chain and
pattern piece were sold for $ 300, and are said to be now in the
possession of the Mormon Church at Salt Lake City. We learn that
this pattern was the one that showed mountains back of the reclining
lion, and which were omitted from the regular Deseret Assay
Office Five Dollar piece issued for circulation.

among which are the W.M. & Co. Five of 1852, the Schultz & Co.
Five of 1851,, the Baldwin Twenty of 1851, and a reverse showing
an eagle and the inscription, “Pure California gold. ” One of the
cards bearing a wax impression contained this memorandum :
“Impression taken from the die while it was being engraved in
the month of July, 1849, by A. Kiiner, engraver with Moffat & Co.
at the south east corner of Montgomery and Jackson Streets.
“ This was the Ten Dollar piece of Moffat & Co. of 1849, but
it had neither date nor inscription, and was the first private coin of
the denomination to be issued in the extensive California series .
“ He was paid $ 600 for the die for the first State Seal of Cali-
fornia and in 1883, when it became necessary to renew it, jour-
neyed to Sacramento and engraved the new seal, for which he
received $ 300. He stated to Mr. Schaezlein that he received as
much as $ 500 for a pair of coin dies in the pioneer days. A wax
impression of the first seal was in his possession for many years,
but was destroyed in the fire of 1900. There was a great scarcity
of metal in San Francisco in 1849, and when he received the
commission to engrave the seal he found it necessary to go around
the neighbourhood and pick up scraps of metal from which to
make the first die.
“ In 1862, when the Government of British Columbia contem-
plated an issue of local gold, the order to prepare the dies was given
to him and he cut those from which were struck the excessively
rare Ten and Twenty Dollar pieces, dated 1862, and bearing the
name of “ British Columbia ”, of which but few sets are known
to be in existence.
“ Before turning the dies to the Government of British Columbia,
he struck a few trial-pieces in silver on a coining-press which
Lemme Brothers had brought from Germany. The existence of
these trial-pieces seems to have been unknown until recently (one is
at the present time in the possession of Spink &Son Limd, London).
“ Mr. Kiiner painted in water colours, and during his leisure
moments executed many exquisite examples of the engraver’s art
in different materials, principally mother-of-pearl, which he pre-
sented to his wife and children from time to time. All of these
works, of which none was ever made on commission, were of
original conception and of the most delicate and artistic work-
manship, and are still carefully preserved by various members of
his family-.
“ He engraved all the seals for Wells, Fargo & Co., from 1852,
the first year of the firm’s existence, until the day of his death.
“ He died on January 23, 1906, at the age of eighty six years,
being survived by a wife, three daughters, and one son. ”

LINDAUER, EDMOND EUGfiNE fiMILE (B . D . M. , Vol. III, p. 438).
At the Salon, 1910, this artist exhibited a frame containing medals
in silver, bronze, plaster, etc.
“ He won the competition for the New French nickel coinage
(1914), and was awarded the first prize of 20.000 Francs.
“The successful competitor is a man of 45, and is an engraver,
not an artist. “ I am an artisan ”, he says modestly, “the son of my
own works. When 12 years old I began to engrave, starting with
seals. Since then I have worked at every branch of engraving, on
steel, stone, &c. In this contest I sought to design a coin, not a
medal. The human figure is out of place on a coin, it wears away
and an attractive little figure soon becomes little more than a vague
silhouette. That is why I chose a purely allegorical theme”.
“ The face of the new coin shows the letters R F (Republique
Francaise) with a Phrygian bonnet on the top, a wreath of oak and
laurel surrounding them. The other side gives the Republic’s motto,
“ Liberty, Equality and Fraternity ”, the value of the coin and the
date of issue.
“ The new designs have been criticised not from an artistic
point of view but from an economical one. There are people who
think that government employees might have devised a coin at a
cheaper cost to the ratepayers or that there would have been no
difficulty in obtaining one for nothing. Occasion has also been
taken to object to the five cent piece as being inconsistent with the
metric system; one cent, two cents and four cents it is claimed
would be more rational”. From The Numismatist, 1914, p. 393.
LINDBERG, ADOLPH ( B.D.M. , Vol. Ill, p. 441). “The well-
known Medal-engraver, Prof. Adolf Lindberg, died on 27th June
1917 at Stockholm. He was born in that city on the 4th September,
1839. At fourteen years of age he was apprenticed to a jeweller,
but left after a year, and then became a scholar in the Mechanical
Art School, as well as with Lea Ahlborn at the Royal Mint, where
he worked eight years. In the autumn of 1859 he entered the Art
Academy’s Sculpture Class, where he studied until 1867. During
the years 1864-66 he visited Copenhagen and Paris. While in Paris
at this period, as well as in 1877, he studied under the famous
medal engraver, P. Tasset .
“ On his return to the Royal Mint and with Lea Ahlborn a wide
field of activity was opened for him, for the Swedish medal engrav-
ing art had obtained in Lindberg a more prominent representative

than for centuries. In the work by G. Nordensvan, “ Swedish Art
and Artists in the Nineteenth Century” we read: C£ Swedish medal
engraving has in Adolf Lindberg received a master, who combines
in the execution the ability of artistic composition with clearness
and power of individuality and elegance in its art expression. His
medallion portraits show great ability in catching a likeness, and
further a keen insight into the delineation of character ”.
“ During the lapse of years he held nearly all the prominent
positions in the Art Academy as director, revisor, etc., thus proving
his artistic versatility. He became a Member of the Academy in
1885 and vice-professor in sketching in 1892. After the demise of
Lea Ahlborn, in 1897, naturally was appointed her successor at
the Royal Mint because of his prominence, and was presented with
membership in the Danish Art Academy. He held the chairmanship
for many years in the Art Club, where his congenial presence and
his unusual ability to attract all made this place an agreeable head-
quarters for all artists in Sweden.
“ Among his early works will be found medals of Charles XV.; —
Egron Lundgren ; — Elise Hwasser, and later, among plaques and
medals, Karl Snoilsky ; — M. Lagerberg; — Jenny Lind; — G.
Wenneberg; — Pasteur; — ■ A.E. Nordenskiold ; — Oscar II; —
Dr Anders Adolph Retzius, of Stockholm, 1876; — Dr Ernst
Westerlund; — Carl Wilhelm Schaele, of Stralsund ; — 1874,
Nils Keder, IE. 31; — 1879, J.C. Hedlinger, IE. 31; — 1881,
Carl Tessin, IE. 31; — 1881, James Fredrik Dickson, IE. 2 6X
26 ; — 1883, Arvid Karlsten, IE. 31, etc.; besides also the new coin
types in 1905 and 1907. He is survived by a widow and four
children, of which the eldest son, Erik, has stepped into his father’s
place. Already he is recognized as a medal engraver of the highest
standing.
Adolph Lindberg is mourned by his friends not only for his
splendid character, but all over Europe as a most prominent
artist” {The Numismatist, 1917, p. 170).
LINDBERG, ERIK {B.D.M., Vol. Ill, p. 439). In 1916 this artist
was entrusted with the execution of a Presentation medal to the
world-renowned singer, Christine Nilsson, Countess de Casa
Miranda, by her admirers and friends in Stockholm, on her seventy-
fourth birthday, 20th August 1916. By Lindberg is also a medal
commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Swedish
Company Alfa-Laval Separator of Stockholm (Cream Separator),
with busts on obv. of the founders, Gustaf de Laval and John
Bernstrom, and on rev. symbolic emblems of art, industry and
science.
By him are also: Centennial Medal of the Swedish Medical Society,

He was also a Doctor of medicine. There is a portrait-medal of
him by Barber, struck at the U . S . Mint, the reverse of which bears
a bust of the late Prof. Joseph Henry, long Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institute and one of the most distinguished scientists
of America. It is the Government annual “Assay medal” of 1879,
in which year both Linderman and Henry died. Linderman was
born in 1825.

Ryswick, 1697 (Joseph , Die Mun^en von Worms, 1907, p. 305,
n° 430).
LIPAROLO, GIROLAMO (Ital.). Coin-engraver at Naples, under
Ferdinand. In 1465 he was entrusted by the King to engrave his
portrait on the largest silver coins hitherto struck, of the value of
2 carlini, and called Testoni by the people, on account of the head
which was represented on them. On these coins the cuirassed bust
of Ferdinand may be seen, very different to that of the same per-
sonage on Liparolo’s medal executed 29 years later, after a drawing
by Guido Mazzoni of Modena ( Vide Sambon, Notes historiques sur
les portraits graves en medailles , Le Musee, 1907, p. 275). The
Portrait Tari of 1465, issued by the Mint-master Mirabilis is the
first portrait-piece struck at Naples. Liparolo also engraved the
Portrait-Coronato of 1472 ; and the Carlino of Frederick of Aragon,
1496, with the book in flames on rev.

LOGAN, JOHN (B.D.M., Vol. Ill, p. 454). “ Seal- and Gem-
Engraver; was born at Duncannon Fort, Co. Waterford, on

years was the principal Seal-engraver in the city, holding the
appointment of “King’s Seal-cutter”. He lived at n Townsend
Street from 1782 to 1784, at 42 Aungier St. until 1791, and after-
wards at 6 Great George’s St. and 10 Aungier St. He retired from
his profession in 1802, having injured his health by too close
application to his work. He became mentally affected, and died in
1805. A “Portrait-gem of Dj\ Lucas” and a “Head of Alexander
the Great on white cornelian ” are perhaps his best known works. A

LYSIPPUS {B.D.M., Vol. Ill, p. 507). The following notes are
extracted from Dr. G . F. Hill’s important monograph on this Artist
in the Burlington Magazine, XIII, pp. 274-286.
Lysippus was one of the minor artists who worked at Rome in
the last quarter of the fifteenth century. His real name is unknown,
4 Lysippus the younger’ being no doubt his pseudonym. This
occurs on the medals of Giulio Marascha, and Marinus Philethicus.
Dr. Hill das drawn attention to the artist’s use as symbol on these
two medals of ivy-leaves, which figure also on a Portrait-medal in
the British Museum Collection. The portrait, accompanied by the
legend : di la il bel viso, e qvi il tvo servo mira, is no doubt
that of the Medallist. The reverse side was meant to be polished
and serve as a mirror. Three other medals are marked with the
ivy-leaves : Giovanni Alvise Toscani (43 mill.); — Francesco
Vidal, of Noya in Galicia (41 mill.) ; — Another, with 1^. regvm
praeceptor (39.5 mill.).
To these pieces must be added the following medals, which
undoubtedly belong to the artist, although they do not bear the
leaves : Giovanni Alvise Toscani ; I^L prevenit aetatem etc.
(73 mill.); — Another; f^L. incertvm ivrisconsvltvs orator
(71 mill.); — - Another; 1^. Pallas (34 mill.); — Another;
I^k. Coat of arms; in the field l.p. (34 mill.); — Another; with
plain 1^. (34 mill.); — Francesco Massimi (38 mill.); — Gianfran-
cesco Marascha (36.5 mill.); — Alfonso Morosini (43 mill.); —
Antonio de Sancta Maria (38 mill.); — Girolamo Callagrani
(38 mill.); — Parthenius identified by Armand as Ippolito
Aurispa, a Latin poet of Macerata (36.5 mill.); — Malitia de
Gesualdo, bishop ol Rapolla (41.5 mill.); — Catelano Casali, of
Bologna (3 5 mill.); — Raphael Riario, m.cccc.l.xxviii. (36 mill.).
The medals of Candida, attributed to Lysippus, Dr. G.F. Hill
prefers to restore to Candida himself.
Among conjectural attributions to Lysippus, the following are
suggested : Sixtus IV.; I^k. The Ponte Sisto (40 mill.) ; — Diomede
Caraffa (40 mill.); — Francisco Vidal (39.5 mill.).
The medals of Pier Paolo Millini (school of Adriano Fiorentino),
Lucas de Zuharis (possibly by Ruberto), Giambattista Orsini,

Fabrizio Varano, Giovanni Aurispa, Gabriel de Gabrielli, cardinal
of S. Prassede, Marcello Capodiferro, and Gianfrancesco Rangoni
are not to be considered as Lysippus’ works.
“ The impression that Lysippus leaves on our minds, ” says
Dr. Hill, “is of an amiable young man, without a strong artistic
individuality, and with correspondingly little power of invention,
exercising a pleasing talent for the benefit of his numerous friends
among the notabilities (especially the minor notabilities) of the
Papal Court from about 1475 to 1490. ”
The Rosenheim Collection comprized eight medals by Lysippus,
amongst which a fine example of the Giov. Alvise Toscani, which
at the sale realized €72 ( Rosenheim Sale Catalogue , lot 75 ; 30th
April 1923).
