Excerpt from Biographical Dictionary of Medallists, Vol. 2: Coingemand Seal-Engravers, Mint-Masters, &C., Ancient and Modern With Reference to Their Works, B. C. 500 A. D. 1900<br><br>I feel I may justly be accused of devoting too much space to the works of contemporary medallists, sculptors, and amateurs, who, though they may be skilful modellers, have never had any training in actual metal work, either in casting or in die - engraving, and are not therefore, as were the older medallists, masters of the material in which their works are finally to appear.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
