The Beaux-Arts Medal in America

Between September 26, 1987 and April 16, 1988 the American Numismatic Society held an exhibition titled "The Beaux-Arts Medal in America." Accompanying the exhibition, an illustrated catalogue presented over 300 medals, most of which belong to the Beaux-Art period, dating to the early years of the 20th century.

The catalogue was created by Barbara A. Baxter, who had been hired as a guest curator. She not only created the index entries for the catalogue but also wrote several interpretive essays that put the medals in their historical and art-historical context.

The full catalogue is available for purchase as a print publication but also as a free ePub from the American Numismatic Society's website here.

As with the Marqusee Collection, I attempt to provide a visual index based on the medal images I have available. I don't have access to all medals (or coins) and would deeply appreciate help in completing the on-line collection. Please send me images of your treasures and let me know where they belong.
