GROLIER CLUB MEDALS
Last week's announcement of the Grolier Club exhibit of
numismatic literature brought these responses:
Joe Levine writes: "Your readership may be interested to
know the following: The Grolier Club issued a number of
art plaques honoring famous American writers. These are
large, well-executed cast pieces honoring
Nathaniel Hawthorne by Ringel DiIllzach (1892)
James Russell Lowell by Charles Calverley (1895)
Edgar Allen Poe by Edith Woodman Burroughs (1909)
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow by John Flanagan (1911)
Ralph Waldo Emerson by Victor D. Brenner (1911)."
Dave Bowers writes: "It is a crying shame that the Grolier Club
exhibit seems to IGNORE (or at least you don't mention it
in your blurb) AMERICAN numismatic literature. The Grolier
Club is at once impressive and traditional, and even a "side
display" of American numismatic literature would have been
beneficial. Perhaps it is not too late to include such, especially
since the AMERICAN Numismatic Society seems to be
involved!"
