PANAMA CANAL MEDAL IMAGE SOUGHT

Roger Burdette writes: "Does anyone have a good photo of the Panama
Canal medal designed by Frank Millet and sculpted by Victor Brenner
in August 1908? I am looking for an image of obverse & reverse for
use in my 1909-1915 book. Thanks!"

[Some information found in the Internet: American artist and muralist
Francis Davis 'Frank' Millet painted murals at Trinity Church in Boston
with John LaFarge.  He was close with Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Mark
Twain, both of whom were at his 1879 marriage in Paris, France.
Impressionist artist John Singer Sargent often used Millet's daughters
as models.  Millet also served as Director of Art for the 1893
Columbian Exposition.  -Editor]

"On April 10, 1912, Francis Millet boarded RMS Titanic at Southampton
for New York. He was last seen helping women and children into lifeboats."
