Excerpt from Catalogue of the International Exhibition of Contemporary Medals The revised edition has been a somewhat laborious undertaking, inas much as it was imperative to return the medals immediately upon the con elusion of the exhibition, and the material which it was subsequently planned to incorporate in the new edition had to be secured by correspon dence. The Society desires to thank the artists cordially for their great assistance in facilitating the expansion of the descriptive lists and the re vision of the biographical notices. Thanks are also due to Dr. W. R. Martin Librarian of The Hispanic Society of America, for reading the proof of the first edition, and translating many newly added biographies in the second. Some of the material for the sketches given in the first edition was freely drawn from Mr. L. Forrer's Biographical Dictionary of Medalists, and for the new edition Mr. Forrer has kindly sent us certain information which we had been unable to obtain. The artists were urged to give full details, and only in a few instances are the biographies less complete than might be wished. The f orm of the sketches shows considerable variation, as they were partly composed by the artists themselves and partly adapted from printed sources. Ah effort has been made, however, in this second edition to harmonize them without disturbing the individual note so often contributed by the writers, producing a more satisfactory result than would uni form notices in condensed, encyclopedic style. The titles of the medals have been corrected and expanded, and dates, processes, metals or materials, sizes, etc., added where possible. The new volume is equipped with an introduction, and also an index of artists and their works. As large a number of artists as possible have been represented in the illustrations. Many of the exhibitors f urnished supplementary photographs of their works, which have been utilized to the extent com patible with the size of a single volume. This new edition will, it is hoped, fill a need felt by the lovers of the medallic art. It is an attempt to supply in English a sort of text-book from which to begin the study of the modern or, more accurately, the contem poraneous medal. This catalogue of medals, with its illustrations, and the brief outline of the history of the medallic art given in the introduction, are designed to place the reader in a position to pursue the study of medallic art in the numerous foreign works dealing with the subject. The stress laid by modern critics and collectors upon the purely artistic quality of the medal is a comparatively recent viewpoint. Furthermore, the element of technique has played no minor role in the evolution of style; hence, a clear understanding of the technical processes should conduce to an appreciation of the conceptions of the artistic nature and function of the medal held by present-day artists of different temperaments and nationalities.

Excerpt from Catalogue of Medals and Plaques The striking of a medal is entirely mechanical, and is obtained by either hydraulic pressure, or the screw press. The metal disc is placed between the dies, and pressed until the full image is obtained. Ac cording to the height of the relief, it may require from one to ten or even more pressures, and annealing the metal disc each time after it has re ceived a blow.

Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Contemporary American Sculpture: Held Under the Auspices of the National Sculpture Society; June 17-October 2, 1916 The collection consists of original works of sculpture in all its branches: medals, plaques, small and large sculpture in bronze, marble, plaster and other materials; wood and ivory carving, oh jects of sculpture in precious metals, portraits, allegorical statues and works of decorative or monumental character. Nearly all works of importance shown at the panama-pacific International Exposition are included and in addition some made since the expo sitiou by American sculptors of note have been solicited for the occasion. Buffalo should become a point of pilgrimage for all those who have an ambition to see the sculpture of our American artists as they have never seen it before, and as probably they will not see it again for many a long day. The works shown at the Albright Art Gallery will be returned to their owners after the close of the present exhibition and never again assembled in such a collection. The people of Bufialo have a rare pleasure in store for them in this exhibition of the work of American sculptors. Interest in sculpture has been aroused as never before by the important part it played in the Panama - Pacific Exposition. It would not be an exaggera tion to say that the great fountains, sculpture courts, decorative columns and individual examples of the plastic art were among the crowning features of the Exposition.
