Everyone at Whitman was saddened to learn about Cornelius Vermeule's passing. We were honored to work with him on the new edition of his Numismatic Art in America last year.

From time to time over the course of the project, I would receive one of Vermeule's trademark "postcards in the round" --- instead of writing from left to right in traditional fashion, he would start at a point and spiral his text around until its conclusion. A unique way of communicating, from a decidedly unique communicator!
