Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Dictionary of Medallists, Vol. 2: Coingemand Seal-Engravers, Mint-Masters, &C., Ancient and Modern With Reference to Their Works, B. C. 500 A. D. 1900 In presenting to my friends and to the public the second volume of the Dictionary of Medallists, I wish to express my deep gratitude for the very kindly reception given to the first, the sympathy and approbation of those who have accepted what has been done, and excused deficiencies, errors and oversights, which the wide range of my subject rendered unavoidable. Still more diffident in my own powers, but not less trusting in the generosity of my critics, I venture to send out the present volume. I feel I may justly be accused of devoting too much space to the works of contemporary medallists, sculptors, and amateurs, who, though they may be skilful modellers, have never had any training in actual metal work, either in casting or in die-engraving, and are not therefore, as were the older medallists, masters of the material in which their works are finally to appear. The inherent, I fear irremediable, defect of the work belongs to its original aim and object. My endeavour was to give, of both old and modern medallists, succinct biographical notices accompanied by concise summaries of their productions, following in this the plan of such works as Nagler´s Allgemeines Künstler Lexikon and other similar foreign Biographical Dictionaries of artists. And it was therefore impossible for me not to include the many artists now working in Europe who have established a popularity for medallic art hitherto quite unknown.
