I attended an event at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC this week. This plaque was done by Laura Gardin Fraser, and I thought readers would like it.
Nice! I was unaware of this piece. Worth stopping to see. Here are David's pictures. Thanks.

Besides numerous medals she is probably best remembered for her designs of several classic commemoratives, some of which were designed together with her husband, James Earle Fraser.
