I don't have the book "Monograms of American Coin & Medal Artists" and was wondering whether LKS is listed. I recently purchased a beautiful George Washington plaque (bearing the dates 1732-1932) with the above initials in the lower left corner. After doing a web search I determined they were the initials of Louise Kidder Sparrow (1884-1979) who among other things was noted for her plaques and poetry.
I checked Dick Johnson's book, but Louise Kidder Sparrow is not listed.
Can anyone help? Does anyone know what her monogram signature looks like?
Or can anyone otherwise confirm that this plaque is her work?
