The interest in those of archi- tects is an outgrowth of that earlier beginning. As this subject has never been treated compre- hensively, it seemed desirable to publish not only my own collection, but also such other similar medallic material as has come under my notice, and it has been my ambition to make my work not merely the standard in this special field, but a useful contribution to numismatic literature in general. The determination of just what material comes properly within my category remained indefinite for a long time. My first decision was to confine it to those medals and medallions upon which the archi- tect’s features are portrayed, or those upon which the commemoration of the architect is an essential part of the medal. In a number of instances, where there is a medal with a portrait, it has been thought well to include in the body of the book other medals on which that architect's name is mentioned but not featured, and which would otherwise have been omitted. It has been difficult to draw a sharp line, and therefore, some which do not seem to belong properly in the above-mentioned category are in- cluded in the Appendix. In certain cases, as of Brunel, Fowke, Michelangelo, Montgolfier, Paxton, and some others, medals will be found which, though they commemorate the individual but indirectly, are included to round out the series and to make the work more valuable for purposes of general reference. Medals of award, as the term is ordinarily understood, have been omitted. The term “architect” has been used in a broad sense. It has not always been possible to differenti- ate between architects and sculptors, or between architects, military architects, and engineers, so that names may be found which under the strictest of classifications might have been omitted; nevertheless their qualifications have been such as to warrant their being included here. Medals will be found which bear the portrait of an architect although he may be better known for some other activity, as for instance Brunel, in connection with the Thames Tunnel; Diirer, Raphael, and Rubens for painting; Zelter for music, and Montgolfier for his success with the balloon. There is also included one whose name is rarely associated with the realm of architecture, but who has nevertheless left behind many evidences of his skill in this art: Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States. From the outset it will be apparent that anything approaching a complete list is impossible, and in contrast with writers of many present-day monographs, the author has not had the benefit of an earlier compilation to use as a basis. As many medallic portraits bear no indication which gives a ix clue to the profession of the individual, the difficulty with which their identification is attended will be obvious. Frequently, too, the issue is small, rendering remote the chance of a specimen coming under observation. The medals in the collection, as well as a large number of others, are illustrated, the majority at their true size; some, due to their excessive module, are reduced. In assembling the illustrations on the plates it was deemed essential to make the arrangement as pleasing as possible, and for this reason it was not always feasible to place them in their numerical rela- tion to each other. In addition, many medals were received after the plates upon which they would have been placed had been made up, a contingency unavoidable in a work of this magnitude. Where no illus- tration appears the reader is referred, wherever possible, to some work in which he will find a reproduction; when neither the medal itself, a cast, nor a photograph has been obtainable, the description has been taken from some other work. In most numismatic books which have been published during the last half century, the data are reliable; in earlier works, however, and in sales and auction catalogues, such is frequently not the case, nor do casts or photographs always reproduce clearly. Where the information has been de- rived from these sources, errors may have crept in, and for such an apology is herewith offered. Study has been given to the identification of initials or incomplete signatures of sculptors, which is often important from a numismatic point of view and is helpful in the ready attribution of medals. Much care has been taken to differentiate between the words ‘“‘same”’ and “similar’’; where the latter is used, a variation will be discovered by a comparison of the illustrations. The difference may be in the size of the lettering, in the position of the sculptor’s signature, in the spelling, in the ornamentation, or in some other detail which might escape notice unless attention were directed thereto. Inscriptions from which accents are omitted frequently occur; there is occasional misspelling, and sometimes a misstatement. Where the error is of moment it is noted. While not favoring abbreviations as a rule, a few recognized as standard have been used. In the descriptions an asterisk (*) has been employed to indicate a star, a rosette, or some symbol not found in type. Where a medal or medallion is illustrated and the ownership is credited to some museum, institute, or individual, the illustration has been made from a cast or a photograph courteously furnished by the owner; when in the collection of the author it is so indicated; where no ownership is noted, its present location is not known. Frequent notes have been added and it is hoped that these may prove of interest to the general reader. The function of the biographies, which of necessity are brief, is to show the scope of the work exe- cuted by the individuals, the desire being to offer for each architect a personal introduction rather than a stereotyped summary of his life, career, and general activities. Standard biographical dictionaries often differ as to spelling of names and places, and as to dates; where variations occur, the information which has seemed most trustworthy has been used. Further, these biographical records are frequently in a language other than that of the native country of the subject, so that names of buildings, titles, schools, societies, and other data may already have been translated. When those are then retranslated into Eng- lish, the possibility of somewhat losing the significance of a word in the original language is apparent and it has not always been possible to guard against error. Where no date of death is given it does not follow that the individual is still living, but that no record of his decease has been found. This is accounted for largely by the fact that few biographical works have been brought up to date during and since the world war. The spelling of the names at the head of each biography follows that given either on the medals and medallions themselves or in the biographical dictionaries of the subject’s native country. For con- venience, however, cross-indexing has been used so that any name may be readily found. In conclusion, I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude for the co-operation and help so freely given by directors of museums, officers of numismatic societies, and private individuals. Particularly do I wish to record my appreciation for casts from the British Museum which Mr. G. F. Hill, Keeper of Coins and Medals, and Mr. J. Allan had prepared for me, and for casts received through the courtesy of M. Jean Babelon, of the Bibliothéque Nationale in Paris; to Messrs. Kurt Regling and Friedrich Schrotter, of the Kaiser-Friedrich Museum in Berlin; to M. Victor Tourneur, of the Bibliothéque Nationale in Brussels; to Mr. Howland Wood, Curator of the American Numismatic Society, and to Mr. Maurits Schulman, of Amsterdam. I also wish to acknowledge here the valuable services of Miss Elizabeth Clark for work upon the biographies, and those of Mr. Sydney P. Noe, Librarian of the American Numismatic Society, for general counsel and reading proof. Nor can I close this paragraph without mention of Mr. L. Forrer’s “Biographical Dictionary of Medallists,” the most useful single work which the general collector of medals can possess and which has proven of inestimable value in this undertaking. Notice of further medals and medallions of architects which come under the observation of the reader will be welcome. Should these prove to be sufficiently numerous, a supplement to “Medals and Medallions Relating to Architects” will be issued; if not, the present volume may one day serve as a basis from which some other collector with similar tastes may carry forward the search.

Mention is made of his activities about the year 1583, during the pontificate of Pope Gregory XIII, after whom the Gregorian calendar was named and who died in 1585. Agrippa was a man of varied attainments, being eminent as mathe- matician, philosopher, engineer, and architect. He collaborated with Fontana in transporting the great obelisk to the piazza of St. Peter’s in Rome; both published monographs concerning this remarkable feat, the title of Agrippa’s being “Trattato di trasportar la guglia in su la piazza di San Pietro, Roma, 1583.” He wrote also about the science of arma- ments and the generation of the winds. Copies of his books are exceedingly rare. . Obverse. Bust to right and in armor. - CAMILLVS : AGRIPPA - ANT: F + Signed on truncation 10-BA-BO-F (Gio- vanni Battista Bonini). Reverse.

His education was pursued in his native city, where also the greater part of his life was spent. After the completion of his studies Alavoine collaborated for a time with Cellerier and with him ex- ecuted his earlier architectural works, including the baths of Montesquieu and a new theatre.-In 1812 he was appointed 2 10 11. 12. 13. 14. official architect to the government, being first charged with the restoration of various churches, notably St. Denis in Paris, and the cathedrals of Sées and Rouen. Alavoine made designs for a memorial fountain at the Place de la Bastille, and designed a doric column for the July monument. The drawing for this column was approved by Louis Philippe, who laid the first stone; but Alavoine did not live to see more than the foundation completed, the monument as it stands to-day fol- lowing the more ornate Corinthian design of his successor, Joseph Louis Duc.

Of a noble Florentine family banished for political reasons, Alberti had the ad- vantage of a broad education, which included art, music, poetry, the Latin classics, and architecture. He was influential in bringing back the classic standards in design, and was commissioned by Pope Nicholas V to restore the papal palace in Rome. Alberti supervised the reconstruction of S. Maria Trastevere, S. Stefano Rotondo, and S. Pietro in Vincolo; also he planned the fortifications of Civita Vecchia, Spoleto, and Orvieto. At Mantua he designed two churches and the Rucellai palace; and at Rimini the famous cathedral of S. Francesco, this being generally regarded as his greatest achievement. He wrote a Latin comedy, and treatises on painting and sculpture, but his best-known literary work, “De re sdifica- toria,” deals with architecture. Uniface. Bust to left.

ANDERS JOHAN AXEL ALM Born 1814, probably in Stockholm, where he died in 1872. As an eminent and influential architect, as a public-spirited citizen, and as a man of wealth and position, Alm rendered valuable and efficient service in his chosen profession. The greater part of his life was spent in Stockholm, in which city all of his notable architectural works are to be found. There he erected a hospital, designing also numerous public buildings and private residences. He planned and executed the res- toration of St. Jacob’s Church, doing this without remuneration; though later, in recognition of his generosity and skill, the medal described below was struck in his honor.

He continued his technical studies later at the Bauakademie in Berlin. After extensive travel in England, on the continent, and through the orient, Alpar was appointed to teach archi- tecture at the Polytechnicum in Budapest. He designed the Szapary bathing pavilion at Herkulesfiirdé, a popular Hunga- rian resort, and built numerous schools, churches, and town halls throughout the country. Alpar planned for the national Millenium exposition of 1896 a group of structures representing the history of Hungary, and later erected buildings for the university of Klausenburg. In Budapest he built the Exchange which is shown on the medal described below, and in the same city the Austro-Hungarian Bank.

PLATE 4 VINCENTIUS pe AMBRA There appears to be no authentic record as to the details of birth and death of this Italian architect, who is known, how- ever, to have been active in Florence at the beginning of the eighteenth century. He belonged to an aristocratic Florentine family which has numbered many poets, architects, and savants among its distinguished members, from Francesco de Ambra and his son Vincentius, both of whom were famous in the sixteenth century, down to the present day. The subject of this sketch, whose portrait is shown on the medal described below, is referred to in the catalogue of coins and medals belonging to Freiherr Carl Rolas du Rosey, as a mathematician and architect once resident in Florence.

He studied under Lequeux, Baltard, and Jay, and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he won numerous medals and prizes, including the grand prix de Rome. Ancelet’s appointments as professor of design and as architect to the government soon occupied his time to the practical exclusion of actual construction, but a few important works early established his reputation and will remain associated with his name. Among these may be men- tioned new buildings for the chateau de Pau and for the chateau de Compiégne; also in Paris, the arcade Vaucanson and additions to the building of Arts et Métiers. A member of the French Institute and chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Ancelet was the recipient of awards from several international expositions and was active in the architectural societies of France.

The same year he was awarded a medal by the Salon, and was granted a travelling scholarship for the purpose of further study. Upon his return from Italy, he established himself in private practice at Nancy, and since then has been active in matters relating to the archi- tectural progress and welfare of that city. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

He has re- ceived a number of distinctions, including the Jean Leclaire prize, the grand prix de Rome, and the medal of the salon of the Champs Elysées. In Paris he designed the Ecole Lavoisier and other buildings serving the public. For many years André held official position as inspector of municipal buildings, architect to the French government, and architect of the city of Paris, being at the same time a member of the Société Centrale des Architectes Francais and of the Société des Architectes diplémés par le Gouvernement.

Having studied in his native city under Le Bas and Huyot, he was awarded the grand prix de Rome in recognition of his admirable plans for a French Chamber of Deputies. He also spent some time in Athens studying the architectural details of the ancient Greeks. André specialized in the erection and reconstruction of monumental buildings in Paris, his name being associated with such important edifices as the botanical gardens, the museum of natural history, and the great Bibliothéque Nationale. André was professor of architecture for many years, was an inspector of municipal buildings, commander of the Legion of Honor, and a member of the French Institute. Uniface. Bust to left.

PLATE 10 JACQUES DENIS ANTOINE Born 1733 in Paris; died there in 1801. After working for a number of years as a building contractor, Antoine turned to architecture, becoming eminent as an exponent of the rococco style, in which his interpretation was more conservative than that of his contemporaries. Many of his plans and drawings are to be found in the Bibliothé¢que Nationale in Paris, in which city he built the mint shown on the medal described below, the Hotel Maillebois, and the main staircase of the court house. Among the buildings erected by him outside of Paris may be mentioned a church at Nancy, the Hotel Ber- wick in Madrid, and the mint at Berne. Antoine was for many years active in the Académie des Beaux-Arts, being also a member of the French Institute. Obverse. Bust to right with peruke.

In 1885 he went to Budapest, where he remained for several years, studying engineering and ar- chitecture at the Polytechnicum while a pupil in the school of painting under Székely and Lotz. After a year in Paris Arkai went to Vienna to engage in theatre construction under Fellner and Helmer, returning to Budapest after the com- pletion of his studies. In that city, where he established himself in private practice, he was invited to collaborate in the erection of the royal castle at Ofen, and in 1896 he entered drawings in competition for the Redoutenpalast, winning the first prize with commission to execute. Arkai himself considers that his best work consists of the series of modest villas in the Hungarian style, located on the Andrassystrasse in Budapest. He is also successful as a painter of aquarelles and in the field of interior decoration. 27. Uniface. Head to left. ARKAI ALADAR Signed in monogram ¥ 0 B (F. O. Beck). 97mm. Bronze cast. R.F.E.

Many divergent stories exist concerning his name, family relationships, youthful life, and even the list of his achievements. The popular version, one repeated by several biographers, originated with Vasari, and contains many interesting statements, some perhaps not authentic. The following data concerning Arnolfo are, however, well established. He was the friend of Cimabue and the pupil of Niccolo Pisano. He collaborated with Maestro di Lapo, their most famous work being the palazzo del Bargello. Arnolfo designed and commenced the loggia of the Priori, built the loggia of Or San Michele, and rebuilt the chapel of the abbey church at Florence. When commissioned by Cardinal Orsini to erect the church of S. Croce, Arnolfo constructed its roof in an origi- nal manner, allowing unusual width to the nave and aisles; the novelty of his design winning him great praise. The Flor- entine city fathers, having decided to build a cathedral, charged Arnolfo with the preparation of plans and models; he designed the entire edifice, and succeeded admirably in the difficult task of incorporating the small church of S. Reparata in the greater building which for over a century bore its name. Not until 1412, by solemn decree, was the name changed from S, Reparata to that of S. Maria del Fiore. 27a.

Eminent as sculptor and founder in metals, the bronze door of St. Peter’s, which had been commanded by Pope Eugenius IV and on which Averlino with six assistants spent twelve years of toil, made him famous before he erected his first building. Banished from Rome when nearly fifty years of age on the charge of stealing holy relics, he spent four years in travel and in collecting material for his voluminous work en- titled “Trattato d’Architettura,” after which Sforza called him to Milan, where the sculptor became architect. Averlino designed a palace for Sforza at Venice, began the cathedral at Bergamo, was for two y rs architect of the Milan cathedral, and built fortifications near Bellinzona. His greatest architectural work was accomplished in connection with the Ospedale Maggiore at Milan, one of that city’s notable buildings. 29. Obverse. Bust to right, three bees.

HENRY OGDEN AVERY Born 1852 in Brooklyn, and died 1890 in New York City. The son of S. P. Avery, eminent art connoisseur and one of the earliest members of the Architectural League, Henry Ogden Avery grew up in an atmosphere which did much to in- fluence his choice of a career. At an early age he entered Cooper Union, and later the office of Russell Sturgis, where he stayed until he went to Paris. There he remained for seven years, studying architecture under Jules André, and the allied subjects of art and engineering. Upon his return to New York he associated himself with Richard M. Hunt, col- laborating on the Marquand and Vanderbilt residences and other important work. In 1883 he designed the Woodford mansion in Brooklyn, an unusual and attractive building of red brick; this being followed by the Buell house at New Rochelle and by extensive alterations to the Clews residence at Newport. Avery’s brief career was full of promise. He was a member of numerous societies of art and architecture in America and abroad, and was also known as a lecturer and writer. The Avery Architectural Library at Columbia University was established as a memorial to him by his parents, the building itself being the gift of his brother, Samuel Putnam Avery, Jr. Uniface.

PLATE 3 LEON AZEMA Born 1888 at Alignan-du-Vent in the département of Hérault. After his preliminary education he went to Paris, where he enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts; there he studied architecture and interior decoration, in both of which he is an acknowledged authority. In Paris he designed the decorations for several residences and shops, but his architectural work is located elsewhere in France, and in Egypt. At Cairo and Alexandria, Azéma has erected numerous apartment houses, residences, and villas; special mention should be made of the college, with adjoining theatre and church, at Alex- andria; and of the law courts in process of construction at Cairo. Azéma has received medals and awards at many expositions, being active in several societies of art and architecture; in 1921 he received the grand prix de Rome. He is now associated with Jacques Hardy and Max Edrei, architects in Paris. Uniface. Bust to left. L. AZEMA | ARCH: |ROMA|MCMX| XIV Signed on truncation p. TURIN 108mm. Bronze cast. R.F.E.

He studied engineering and architecture under his uncle, Giovanni Azzurri, and at the Accademia di San Luca in his native city, later supplementing his education by means of extensive travel. After his return to Italy he built the palazzo Negroni on the via Condotti, the Hotel Bristol, the new Teatro Nazionale, and nu- merous villas, collaborating in work on the palazzo Barberini—all this in Rome. In Rome also Azzurri accomplished impor- tant work as architect of the San Luca hospitals and asylums. He restored the Palazzo di Venezia and designed buildings for the republic of San Marino, the medal below being evidence of recognition on the part of that government of the value of his services. Azzurri was for many years professor of architecture at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. Obverse. Bust of Pius IX to left. PIVS IX PONT. MAX. AN. XXI. Signed 1. BIANCHI s. Reverse.

ALPHONSE BALAT Born 1818 at Gochenée, a small town in the province of Namur; died 1905 at Ixelles, near Brussels. His education was pursued mainly at Antwerp, in which city he distinguished himself at an early age in both engineering and architecture. Balat’s scholarship and ability led to his appointment as court architect, with residence in Brussels. There he lived dur- ing the greater part of a successful and extended career, and there most of his works are located. Among the most impor- tant of these may be mentioned the reconstruction of the royal palace, the erection of a magnificent residence for the Mar- quis d’Assche, and the main building of the palais des Beaux-Arts, of which the medal described below shows the interior. At the exposition of Belgian art held at Brussels in 1905, the year of Balat’s death, many of his plans and drawings were ex- hibited, and a prominent place was given to his portrait bust executed by Vincotte.

There appears to be no au- thentic record concerning the date of his birth. Educated in mechanics, in engineering, and in building, he became eminent as an architect who devoted his time and his ability to the construction of private edifices, his reputation not having been transmitted by means of any famous public or monumental buildings. Yet from the fact that Zani accords to him the highest of five grades in classification, it appears probable that Balestra executed some of the Italian palaces of his time. Obverse.

ZOLTAN BALINT Born at Nagyvarad in 1871, he studied in Budapest and received the Ybl medal of the Society of Hungarian Architects. Early in his career he entered into partnership with Ludwig Jambor, and with him won two competitive prizes for public buildings. Together they have built many of the beautiful modern residences of Budapest. Jambor and Balint designed the Hungarian section for the Exposition Universelle of 1900, the grand prix being awarded to them jointly. This building is referred to on the medal described below. Jointly also they received the gold medal at Turin in 1902 and the first prize for the plans of a school in Nagykanizsa. Their work shows the modern tendencies in Hungarian architecture as indicated by the important réle of color and the prominence of national motifs in majolica. Uniface.

ALBERT BALEU Born 1849 in Paris, where he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, being also a pupil of Mague, of Barrias, and of his father, Théodore Ballu. He drew the plans for the casino at Biskra, and completed the cathedrals of Algiers and Aix-la- Chapelle. Ballu’s most important works were the law courts at Charleroi and at Bucarest, with a church at Jony-le- Monstier. Eminently successful in the restoration of old buildings according to the original plans, he has frequently been 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44, 45. 46. 47, called upon to execute work of this difficult character.

PLATE 7 THEODORE BALLU Born 1817 in Paris, where he died in 1885. A pupil of Le Bas, he won the grand prix de Rome at the age of twenty- three. Upon his return from travel in Italy and Greece he collaborated for a time with Gau in erecting the church of Ste. Clothilde, which he completed after Gau’s death. Ballu was appointed chief architect in the division of public works con- cerned with religious edifices, in which capacity he built numerous churches in Paris, including St. Joseph, la Trinité, and St. Ambroise. The churches of Notre Dame d’Argenteuil, St. Joseph, and St. Ambroise, all notable structures in the early Roman style, show his great skill in adapting the older forms to modern requirements. At the age of fifty-five, with the col- laboration of de Perthes, Ballu entered drawings in competition for the reconstruction of the Hétel de Ville in Paris. He received first prize with commission to execute, and this great undertaking occupied his last years. He was successively chevalier, officer, and commander of the Legion of Honor.

VICTOR BALTARD Born 180s in Paris, where he died in 1874. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, being a pupil of Debret and of his own uncle, Louis Pierre Baltard. As a student he early distinguished himself and received the grand prix de Rome, this being followed by the first prize for a design for the tomb of Napoleon and by many awards in public competitions. Bal- tard built the chateau at Cestas, the theological seminary at St. Sulpice, and the monuments to Prince Eugéne, to Ingres and to Flandrin. He designed numerous ecclesiastical edifices, churches, and chapels, both Catholic and Protestant, notably the cathedral at Troyes and the famous oratoire in Paris; in this city also, collaborating with Callet, he built the central market, Architect-in-chief to the government and officer of the Legion of Honor, Baltard served also as inspec- tor of public buildings and on the committee for national festivals. Among his printed works may be mentioned “Mono- graphie de la villa Médicis” and “Galérie de Diane 4 Fontainebleau.” Portrait medallion V. Baltard, executed by Gustave Crauk. 210 mm. Bronze.

As a young man he went to Munich and studied archi- tecture, while employed by Karl von Fischer in his workshop of plastic ornamentation. After the death of Fischer, Ban- del’s interest in architecture gradually waned, and he occupied himself with painting, notably portraits in the style of Rubens and van Dyck. About this time King Maximilian of Bavaria became interested in Bandel, secured a place for him in the atelier of the famous sculptor Haller, and gave him a grant enabling him to study sculpture. Several years later he went to Rome, where he met Thorvaldsen, whose extreme classicism Bandel opposed with aggressive propaganda for the simpler, more popular styles. Nevertheless, upon his return to Munich he allied himself with the classical school of that city, being commissioned by Ludwig I to execute important sculptural and decorative work on the Glyptothek, Walhalla, and other national edifices. His most famous achievement was the gigantic Hermann monument, erected near Detmold; this is shown on the medals described below. Obverse. Head to right. E. vy. BANDEL SCHOPFER D.

Barry built the Royal Institution at Manchester, the Birmingham Free Grammar School, and the Travel- lers’ Club in London. After the destruction by fire of the Houses of Parliament, a competition was announced inviting the submittal of plans for their reconstruction. Barry offered designs in the gothic style, receiving the first prize with a commission to execute the buildings, which are shown on the medals as finally completed. He was elected a member of the Royal Academy, and was an honorary member of many foreign societies. In 1852 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. Obverse.

He studied at the Berlin academy and under Wichman, Schadow, and Rauch, going later to Rome, where he was greatly influenced by Boecklin. While there he completed his famous statue of Pan and the deserted nymph. Returning to Berlin he designed the Schlossbrunnen, making of it a monument to the Emperor William I. Although the main interests of Begas lay in the domain of sculpture and painting, that he was also versed in architecture is attested by a direct statement to this effect in the “ Berliner Miinzblatter,” October, 1911, while even more significant is the word “‘Architektura” on the medal designed by his son and described below. 62.

Behrens built also the Protestant church at Hagen a/W for which he was awarded the first prize in competition, a crematory near Hagen, and the residence of the German embassy in St. Petersburg. Being made a director of the General Electric Company of Berlin in 1907, he drew the plans for their establishments, designing also many private residences in Berlin. He is versed in painting, has a practical knowledge of the manufacture of objects of art, and has published a book on economical construction.

SIR JOHN BENSON Born 1812 at Collooney in the county of Sligo; died in 1874. Desiring at an early age to become an architect and en- gineer, his education was directed consistently to this end, and his first undertaking, the restoration of Markree Castle, gave abundant proof of his ability. In 1850 he was appointed architect to the Cork municipal corporation, and engineer to the harbor commission of that city. St. Patrick’s bridge, the water-works, and several piers and docks were constructed by him; later he built churches and other public edifices in Cork, as well as the building for the Industrial Exhibition held at Dublin in 1853, this structure being depicted on the medal described below. On the occasion of the opening of this building, Benson was knighted. He was a member of the Institute of Civil Engineers. Obverse. Head of William Dargan to right. DARGAN. Signed on truncation W.

PLATE 7 FEDERIGO BERCHET Born 1831 at Venice; died 1908 at Florence. His studies in the general branches, as well as in engineering and building, were pursued at Venice and at Padua, in both of which cities he obtained the doctorate in architecture. After extensive travel and a short period of activity at Candia, he returned to his native city and established himself. One of his earliest works, and the one upon which his international reputation rests, is the Fondacho dei Turchi, completely reconstructed by him in 1860. This imposing edifice was falling into ruins and had been condemned to be destroyed, but Berchet pleaded so strongly for its conservation that the municipality yielded, calling upon him to prepare the elevations and to execute the work. With the exception of this Fondaco dei Turchi, or Turkish emporium, which is shown on the medal described below, Berchet appears to have specialized in ecclesiastical architecture, having designed the facade of S. Martino in Venice, and erected many other churches in that city and elsewhere. He is, however, better known as a writer than as an architect, being a recognized authority on engineering, building, and archeology, concerning all of which sub- jects he published treatises.

The whole of his life and career, including the period of his education, has centred in his native city, his professional study of engineering and architecture having been completed at the Institute of Technology in Vienna. He was architect to the government in the erection and reconstruction of numerous municipal buildings, and he also built schools in Vienna and its environs. He regulated the course of the Wien river near the capital, and intro- duced a system of irrigation canals. Von Berger was director of the department of public buildings, president of the Engineers and Architects Association of Austria, official architect for Vienna, and departmental chief in the ministry of public works.

HENDRIK PETRUS BERLAGE Born 1856 at Amsterdam. His technical education, which was pursued at Zurich, was supplemented by travel in Italy and Germany. Called to Frankfort to assist in the construction of the great panorama building, he remained there for two years before returning to Amsterdam, where he collaborated with Sanders in the erection of several large edifices. 14 Se tt ed: 74, 75. 76. 77. 78. In 1889 he established himself independently, and soon won recognition as a leader among the progressives of the modern school in Holland. When commissioned by the government to erect public buildings at Amsterdam, Groningen, and The Hague, Berlage made use of these to exemplify his theories, notably in the case of the stock exchange shown on the medal described in this work. He was an exponent of clearly defined principles concerning building and interior decoration, these being set forth in the monograph published in German at Leipzig, 1905, and entitled, “Gedanken iiber Stil in der Baukunst.” In this book, as also in his constructive work, Berlage emphasizes simplicity, and the subordination of dec- oration to utility.

Since the beginning of his career Berndl has specialized in the planning of churches, mausoleums, and villas; also in the details of interior decoration. His earliest work of importance was the Franziska-Andrassy mausoleum at Kraszna-Horka-Varalja, in collaboration with the sculptor, Max Frick. He rebuilt the Hotel Union in Munich, and designed numerous churches and residences through- out Bavaria. In 1906 Bernd! made an elaborate model of a Catholic church site for the Dresden Exposition of Industrial Arts.

Establishing himself independently in 1834, he completed the res- toration of S. Vito e Modesto, also rebuilding the Teatro Argentino. Perhaps the most interesting work of Camporesi is the post-office erected for Pope Gregory XVI; in this structure, depicted on the medal described below, he made use of ancient pillars found at Vei. Camporesi designed the facades for the Institute of Fine Arts and for the S. Giacomo hos- pital, built a children’s hospital, and began the construction of S.

At the age of thirteen he began, in the home of his grandfather, his studies in building and sculpture, continuing them later in the studio of Toretti at Venice. From there Canova was called to Vienna, Rome, and Paris to execute various commissions, and to London to give judgment on the Elgin marbles. Among his noted works are the Nelson column in Trafalgar Square, London, and a colossal statue of Washington now at Raleigh, N. C., the first commission of the new world to the old. By order of the Venetian senate, he erected a monument to Admiral Emo, for which he was awarded a gold medal and a life annuity. Canova was buried at Possagno, in the tem- ple he himself had built; the monument he had designed for Titian being erected in Canova’s own honor in the church of the Frari at Venice. Pope Leo XII, in recognition of his great genius, ordered a statue of him by Fabris to be placed in the Capitoleum. References to his works appear on many of the medals. Obverse.

PIETRO PAOLO CARAVAGGIO Born 1658 at Milan, where he died in 1723. The second of three eminent men in successive generations, all bearing the same name and interested in the same subjects, mathematics and architecture. Little appears to be recorded concerning the early life of this Pietro Paolo Caravaggio, except that while still a young man he was appointed assistant to his father in the chair of mathematics at Milan, succeeding him as full professor in 1688. About ten years later he was appointed, with officer’s rank, to an important post in the army, a position to which he continued to devote much of his time until his death. He wrote several treatises dealing with engineering, mathematics, and building—these being published after his death by his son. Uniface. Bust to left with wig and in garb of the period.

The son of a successful builder, he gained his early inspiration and much valuable experience from his father, Peter Carl, before studying drawing and perspective under Jakob Wolf, then architect of the Nuremberg Rathaus. Later he enrolled in the engineering corps of the army, so distinguishing himself in the subjects of hydraulics and fortifications that the city authorities obtained his transfer to municipal service, where- upon Carl strengthened the defenses of the city and made many sanitary improvements. His work of outstanding im- portance in architecture is the Dreieinigkeitskirche at Regensburg, a building which occupied him for four years and which has a peculiar dignity of its own. The medal described below was struck to celebrate the completion of this edifice, Carl being at the same time appointed supervisor of buildings to the national council. Among his later works may be mentioned the restoration of a tower at Hersbruck, and the preparation of models of war equipment, including barracks and for- tresses, for the museum at Nuremberg.

PLATE 69 JOHN MERVEN CARRERE Born 1858 at Rio de Janeiro; died 1911 in New York. Of American parentage but descended from French ancestors who had emigrated to Baltimore after the reign of terror, Carrere represented the finest type of international patriot. He was a pupil of Robert and Ginain at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he met the American fellow student destined to become his friend and partner. In 1885 the firm established itself in New York and immediately accepted the commission of the great Ponce de Leon Hotel at St. Augustine, a daring undertaking for young architects. Among educational build- ings erected by Carrere and Hastings are the Goldwin Smith Hall and Rockefeller Hall at Cornell, the Memorial buildings at Yale, and the New York Public Library. In addition to numerous churches, libraries, hotels, and theatres may be men- tioned buildings for the Senate, for the House of Representatives, and the Carnegie Institution in Washington; in Canada, many banks as well as other structures; and in various parts of the country, handsome private residences. Carrere’s spirit 36 229. 230. 231. 232. 233. 234. 235. 236. was that of the enthusiast with diverse interests all growing out of his profession. He was interested in the beautifying of cities, and wrote on the subject; interested in his fellow architects, in the rising generation of students and in the so- cieties and associations of the profession, his advice and his time were freely at their disposal.

EUGENE TOUSSAINT CATELAND Born 1840 at Lyons; died in 1922. He studied under Chenavard at the Fcole des Beaux-Arts in his native city, receiving the second prize in architecture. Cateland collaborated with Hirsch in the erection of the Hall of Law and Literature at the University of Lyons. In that city and its environs, he planned the restoration of several chateaux, and built that of Bellerive. He also reconstructed buildings and terraces at the junction of the Saéne and Rhone rivers. For twenty years he was director of the school of design at Tarare, in which city he erected the building for the Club of Commerce and In- dustry, a theatre, and other municipal structures.

He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, being a pupil of Barthélemy Vignon, and later travelled in Italy. While in Rome he won a prize for competitive drawings sent to Lyons. Upon his return to his native city, he entered upon an active career devoted principally to public buildings. With Pollet, he erected the principal theatre at Lyons; there also the chapel of the Sacré Coeur in the cathedral and the altar in the Archbishop’s chapel. At Belley, Chenavard planned the restoration of the cathedral and built the law courts. As official architect for Lyons-et-Belley, he devoted much of his time to the erection and restoration of cathedrals, churches, and parochial schools, building also private residences and prisons. Professor of architecture at Lyons, author of numerous treatises, and chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Chenavard was a member of many academies and societies, both in France and in other lands. Lyon Artistique, in the volume devoted to biographical records of architects, states on page 81 that a medallion of Chenavard was executed by Leopold de Ruolz in 1852.

LOUIS CLOQUET Born 1849 at Feluy near Charleroi. His study of engineering and design at Ghent was rewarded by a government position in the department of bridges and highways, but after two years he resigned to devote himself to the subject of his greater interest, architecture. Establishing himself in an atelier in 1874, he entered upon an active career as architect and pro- fessor. Among the structures erected by Cloquet in Ghent should be mentioned several new buildings for the university, a railway station, and the post-office, the latter in collaboration with Etienne Mortier.. The medal described below was struck in commemoration of this new building for the department of posts and telegraph, and bears the portraits of both architects. Cloquet also designed important additions to the abbeys at Orne, Orval, and Chimay, and planned the restora- tion of the church of St. Jacques at Tournai. For twenty-nine years he was professor of architecture at Ghent, and for a shorter period lectured on perspective at Antwerp. He invented instruments of precision, and was the author of several books on architectural subjects. Obverse. Busts of Cloquet and Mortier jugate to right. Signed LB ROY. HIPP. Reverse.

At the age of fourteen he began his education in architecture under T. H. Suys, with whom he studied and worked in Brussels for ten years. In the earlier period of Cluysenaar’s pro- fessional activity he designed private residences and chateaux, later devoting himself to museums, churches, and other monumental edifices, notably the cathedral at Monaco and the conservatory of music in Brussels. This concert-hall is depicted on one of the medals described below, while another medal shows the St. Hubert arcade which was designed by Cluysenaar and which has served as a model for many similar structures throughout Europe. An interesting innovation associated with his name is the essentially rustic style of the stations along the line of the Dendre-et-Waes railway in east- ern Belgium. Obverse. Bust to left. A. J. P.

He studied painting under Barend van Orley in Brussels, continu- ing his education by travel in Italy and the Orient. In Constantinople he acted as agent in the purchase and designing of Turkish rugs, making also drawings of Turkish life which are said to have caused him trouble with the authorities because of the Koran’s interdiction of the reproduction of living subjects. After his return to Antwerp, Coeck de- signed the triumphal arch and decorations in honor of the entry into that city of Charles V, who later appointed him official architect and artist. He designed the decorations of the palace at Moelnere, translated Serlio’s five books on architecture, wrote treatises on geometry and perspective, and compiled a work entitled “Generale Regelen der Archi- tecture op de vijve manieren van Edificién.”” Obverse.

Of Swedish parentage, he received his education at the university of Franeker and under Fullenuis with whom he studied mathematics and building. His principal works are the fortifications of Nimegue, Breda, Namur, and Berg-op-Zoom. Baron van Coehoorn was an officer of rare ability and an authority on engineering and architecture as applied to military defense. He compiled an exhaustive treatise on for- tifications, describing all the newest theories and inventions of his time in so helpful a manner that the book was trans- lated into many languages.

Early in life he chose architecture as his profes- sion, going to Paris for study and for practical experience in the ateliers of Letrosne and Morel. Bernard’s early profes- sional work took the form of industrial and welfare buildings for Paris and its environs, and his first commission, a night shelter for men erected in 1879, marked a great innovation for that time in its heating system and distribution of rooms, winning high praise for the young architect. The following year Bernard designed the college and normal school at Flers in the département of Orne, also drawing the plans for a theatre in Paris. For some years he collaborated with M. Aimé Aurinque, but later established himself independently, attaining a recognized place in his profession. 252a. Uniface.

Upon his return to Paris he occupied himself in building a school of design in the uni- versity quarter, this being followed by the commission to reconstruct and decorate the Pantheon, with appointment as architect-in-charge; later he was also made architect of the Luxembourg. Among the works executed by Constant-Dufeux may be mentioned the tomb of Dumont d’Urville in the Montparnasse cemetery, a new gate for the church of St. Lau- rent, a monument to Admiral Breueys at Uzés; also several residences and public buildings. He was equally active in practising and teaching his profession, having established an independent atelier and being professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

WALTER COOK Born 1846 in New York City, where he died in 1916. His study of architecture was pursued at Harvard, Munich, and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Establishing himself in New York, he became a partner in the firm of Babb, Cook and Willard, who were architects for the residence of Andrew Carnegie, the De Vinne Press building, for several libraries, and for many private residences in that city. This firm also erected buildings for the New York Life Insurance Company at St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Montreal. In 1899 a competition was instituted, open to all the architects of the world, in- viting them to submit drawings for the grounds and buildings of the University of California, Cook being the American representative on the international jury of award. He was a member of the National Academy of Design and of the Society of Beaux-Arts Architects. Full description of medal will be found under No. 68 (Benard). R.f.E. Collection. PLATE 8 LOUIS MARIE CORDONNIER Born 1859 at Haubourdin in the north of France. Son of the architect J. B. F. Cordonnier, he studied with his father, then in Paris under André and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He received first prize in competition for his drawings of a stock exchange building in Amsterdam, though the structure was not erected from his designs. He also received first prize for his plan of the Peace palace at The Hague, 1906. He built town halls at Loos and Dunkerque; churches at Coudry, Calonne, and Merville; and numerous private residences at Lille. Cordonnier designed the Pasteur monument at Dun- kerque. He was a chevalier of the Legion of Honor and a member of the French Institute. Obverse. Bust to left in dress uniform. 1.

Generally known by the name of his birthplace, Cortona was eminent as painter and as architect. Near Rome he built the Casino del Pigneto, his plans for the reconstruction of the Barberini palace being admirable, while his work on the double church of the Forum, S. Martina and S. Luca, gave proof of both ability and generosity, the lower church being rebuilt at his private expense. Commissioned by Pope Alexander VII, Cortona restored the church of S. Maria della Pace, being knighted for this achievement. In Florence he drew plans for the reconstruction of the Pitti palace, supervised the extension of the hospital of S. Maria Nuova, and made the original drawings for the famous Chiesa Nuova. In 1664 Louis XIV invited Cortona, Bernini, and Rinaldi to visit Paris, with a view to enlarging the Louvre, but Cortona considered the journey too great an undertaking for his advancing years, although he made drawings for the proposed additions. Among his noted paintings should be mentioned the large frescoes in the Pitti and Barberini palaces. Obverse. Bust to right. +» PETRVS- BERETINVS : E: CORTONNA : Signed on truncation ¥. CHERON. F.

GIOVANNI BATTISTA petta CROCE Tradition says that he was born in Milan, but no records have been found of his birth, nor of the date and place of his death; he is known, however, to have been living and active in 1595. He was a goldsmith, jeweller, and architect, attached to the suite of Duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, as well as to that of his son Duke Carlo and to that of the Infanta Caterina, wife of the latter. Della Croce erected the palazzo in the environs of Turin for Duke Emanuele, executing later also many marvels of the goldsmith’s art for Carlo and Caterina. Morigia writes of him in the highest terms, saying he cannot refrain from eulogizing a Milanese of the ancient and noble family of della Croce, worthy of all praise for his rare talents such as merit immortality.

His earlier interests lay in the direction of mechanics and mathematics, but from these he turned to architecture, spending nearly three years in travel and study throughout France and Italy. Upon his return to Stockholm, Count Cronstedt was appointed to a responsible post in connection with the erection of the palace, and in 1753 became the supervisor-in-chief. Combined with this position was that of a general leadership in the architectural development of Sweden. In his treatment of fagades he made great use of baroque ornamentation, and 43 262. 263. 264. 265. 266. his influence did much to increase the popularity of this ornate style of architecture.

Trained in the traditions of the Swedish army, Count Dahlberg won fame as a leader and tactician, rising rapidly to the post of general. Yet architecture remained the subject of his strongest enthusiasm, and his military work reflected this interest. Combining the Dutch and French systems in fortifications, Dahlberg evolved one that was characterized by both strength and symmetry, laying unusual emphasis upon the artistic lines of the gates and bastions. Nearly fifty fortresses in Sweden, including Malmé and Gothenburg, bear the impress of his personality. Nor was his architectural activity limited to the field of war; he drew the plans for churches and other public buildings, and also published several books, the best known being “Suecia antiqua et hodierna.” A statue of Dahlberg by the sculptor Alfred Ohlson has recently been unveiled in Stockholm. 44. 267.

PIERRE GEROME HONORE DAUMET Born 1826 in Paris; died there in 1911. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and later was awarded the prix de Rome for his plan of a conservatory of music. He studied under Trouillet, St. Pére, Blouet, and Gilbert. Daumet’s appoint- ment as inspector of municipal buildings in Paris was soon followed by the inspectorship of national edifices. Among his most successful restorations may be mentioned the chateau of Chantilly, the court-house at Grenoble, and the prefecture of police in Paris; he also built the Ecce Homo chapel in Jerusalem, a theatre at Orange, the chateau of St. Germain-en- Laye, one of the university halls at Grenoble, and the important church of the Sacré Cceur on the Boulevard Montmartre. In 1885 Daumet became a member of the French Institute. Uniface. Bust to right. P-J-H-DAUMET-ARCHITECTE | MEMBRE DE LINSTITUT Below at right AU MAI- TRE ARCHITECTE | P. J.H.

Upon leaving Paris, Dautel established himself in private practice at Valenciennes, where he erected numerous residences and schools. In the latter part of his professional activity he made a specialty of educational institutions, being called upon to construct many of these throughout the département du Nord. : Uniface.

After preliminary courses in design, Davioud was offered a position as draughts- man of maps in the department of municipal surveys; this position he held while pursuing his education in architecture under Jay and Léon Vaudoyer, and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In his early work he was associated with Hittorff, then with Baltard, but he soon established himself independently and built the theatre at Etampes. Following this he was commissioned by the city of Paris to reinforce certain historic buildings which were being endangered by the con- struction of underground railways. The versatility of Davioud’s genius is shown by the variety of his work; pavilions, panoramas, columns, gateways, and fountains are associated with his name. Among the numerous buildings erected by him for the municipality are the two theatres in the place Chatelet, the mairie of the XIX® arrondissement, and in col- laboration with Bourdais, the palace of the Trocadéro, shown on the medal described under Bourdais. Davioud erected private residences, shops, and apartment houses, and was known as a writer on architectural subjects. He received numerous prizes and medals, and was decorated officer of the Legion of Honor. Full description of medal will be found under No. 107 (Bourdais). R.¥.E. Collection. PLATE 18 LEON LOUIS DAVOUST Born 1852 in Paris, where the greater part of his life has been spent. Educated there, he was a student under André and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he won numerous prizes and medals. Upon receiving his diploma in 1881, Davoust established himself in an atelier and entered upon an active career as architect of private villas and apartment houses, many of these being in the Neuilly quarter. In Paris he designed for the government by request some model industrial buildings. A member of the leading architectural societies of his country, Davoust has used his influence for the promo- tion of education, especially along the lines of his chosen profession. Uniface.

After several years of training in the draughting department of the Baugesellschaft in his native city, Dehm established himself in an atelier, working independently for a time and later forming a partnership with Olbricht. In Vienna this firm has erected many large public buildings, including hospitals, railway stations, and dormi- tories, as well as apartment houses and villas. In the later period of their partnership, Dehm and Olbricht specialized in housing developments in the humbler quarters of the Austrian capital, building also apartment houses combined with shops. Their architectural work, distinctly urban in character, has been limited to Vienna and its immediate environs. Obverse. Bust to right.

After study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and under Charles Isabelle, he began his life work in Paris by the reconstruction of several municipal schools, later executing extensive alterations to the ancient caserne des Celestins. Dejean specialized to some extent in school buildings and apartment houses, erecting several of these and supervising many more in his capacity of architect and building inspector to the XI© arrondissement. As officer of academy he took a keen interest in all educational questions and especially in’the development of his chosen 46 277. 278. 279. 280. 281. 282. 285. 286. 287. profession, this interest leading him to bequeath his fortune as a prize foundation in architecture.

After his return to Paris, De l’Orme executed much important work, including the decorations of the great ballroom at Fontainebleau and the erection of the rotunda there. He built the chateau at Meudon, that of St. Maur and of Chenonceau, as also the abbey and church of St. Eloi de Noyon. De l’Orme reconstructed the chateau d’Anet for Diane de Poitiers, drew the plans for the Tuileries, and altered the sepulchre of the Valois in the church of St. Denis. Upon the accession of Henri II he was made inspector of the royal buildings at Fontainebleau, St. Germain, and Villers- Cotterets, being later appointed architect-in-charge of Notre Dame. He was made councillor and almoner to the king, and inspector of fortifications on the coasts of Brittany and Normandy. De l’Orme was the author of several books on architectural subjects.

FRANCOIS DERRE Born at Bruges early in the nineteenth century, no record has been found of the dates of birth and death of this Belgian architect. Little also is known concerning his early life, beyond the fact that his birthplace was Bruges, whence he moved to Paris, remaining there for a number of years. At the Brussels exposition of 1836, he furnished proof of his ability as a sculptor by exhibiting a superb baptismal font, executed in a single block of meteoric stone. This work of art was con- ceived in the purest gothic style, and received much favorable comment. Later Derre turned more definitely to archi- tecture and specialized in the construction of prisons. Between the years 1855 and 1868 he designed those at Hasselt, Gand, Mons, Louvain, and Termonde, all being depicted on the medals described below. Obverse. The prison at Hasselt.

WALTER ANDRE DESTAILLEUR Born at Thiais on the Seine in 1867. The son of Hippolyte Walter Destailleur, who specialized in the design of palatial residences, he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and under Daumet-Giraults. He collaborated with his father in the building of several palaces and chateaux, notably those for the Rothschild family in London and Vienna; later Destail- leur established himself independently, continuing in the same specialized line of architecture. He constructed the resi- dences Roger, de Béarn, and Errazu, completed the chateau Vouzeron, and designed others, notably that of Trevarez. This chateau as shown on the medal gives evidence of his ability in his chosen field. Obverse. Destailleur in his library, seated at a draughting-board. Signed A MORLON Reverse.

His early education was followed by a course of study in Paris, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and under Duban. Diet won the medal of the first class, and later the grand prix de Rome. Upon his re- turn from Italy he erected in Paris a series of public buildings, including the prefecture of police, the municipal hospital, Au) 301. 302. 303. and the Montmartre reservoir. He built a museum at Amiens and made additions to the veterinary college at Alfort. The Expositions Universelles of 1878 and 1889 awarded medals to Diet, who was also decorated chevalier and later of- ficer of the Legion of Honor.

He was the son of the noted Wilhelm Dilich, chronologer, etcher, and architect, with whom he studied and later collaborated. In 1627 they settled in Frankfurt a/M, where both son and father were appointed architects of the city. They built the fortresses around Frankfurt, the lines and bastions of which are to be seen to-day in the public gardens and promenades. Johann Dilich edited and illustrated his father’s work, “Peribologia, oder Lehrbuch der Festungsbaukunst,” a text-book on fortification building.

In all probability he was the first architect of the famous monastery of Batalha, given by King John I of Portugal in fulfilment of a vow and to commemorate his victory over the Spanish in 1385. A document of 1402 mentions A. Domingues, deceased, as master of works on the aforenamed monastery. This great and complicated undertaking was begun about 1387, and was a stupendous piece of work. Raczynski, who says of Domingues that he was unquestionably the architect who drew the original plans and directed the early stages of the work, also names many other architects in succession who had a share in the achievement. : Obverse.

He was the son of a master builder and studied under his father, continu- ing his education at the Royal Academy and by travel in Italy and Greece. His first important work was the erection of Holy Trinity Church, South Kensington, followed by University Hall in Gordon Square, and the library and laboratory of University College. Donaldson was the recipient of many prizes and medals and the author of numerous treatises. He was a recognized authority on numismatics as well as on architecture, as is demonstrated by his “Architectura Nu- mismatica” and “Architectural Maxims and Theorems.” A professor at University College for twenty-three years, he became a charter member of the Institute of Architects, and was a member of the French Institute. 50 304. 305. 306. 307.

Though the son of a carpenter he was destined from boyhood to an artistic career, being apprenticed in his fourteenth year to Giuliani, an eminent sculptor of Venetian birth then resident in Vienna. Donner’s early interests lay in sculpture and casting in metal, and he made many successful designs for altars, fonts, fountains, coins, and medals. Not until his appointment to the retinue of Count Emerich von Esterhazy did his accomplishment in architecture become worthy of note; but from that time on he specialized in the erection and interior equipment of ecclesiastical buildings. These included the mortuary chapel in the Martinskirche at Pressburg, as well as a chapel there and a chancel with sculptural groups for the cathedral at Gurk. Obverse.

He studied under his brother-in-law Debret, then at the Ecole des Beaux- Arts, which awarded him the highest prize in architecture. This enabled him to spend several years at the villa Medici, where he prepared a series of fourteen drawings with accompanying text, dealing with classic Italian architecture as repre- sented by such buildings as the Pantheon and the portico of Octavia. Returning to Paris and taking charge of Blouet’s atelier, then of Debret’s, Duban built the Hotel Pourtalés, executed the facade of the Louvre overlooking the Seine, and designed many additions to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, on which he continued work throughout his life. Duban’s restoration of the chateau de Blois is perhaps his most notable single achievement. He was for many years the official architect for reconstruction on the Louvre, was chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and a member of the French Institute. Uniface.

He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, being a pupil of Le Bas and later gaining practical experience in the atelier of Debret. At the Salon of 1810 his design for connecting the Louvre and the Tuileries aroused much favorable comment. Upon his appointment as one of three architects chosen by the municipality to erect the new opera house on the rue Lepelletier, Dubois went first to England for the purpose of studying the tech- nique of theatre construction and of the manipulation of scenery. In Paris and its environs he built numerous villas and private residences; there, too, he restored several chateaux, designed commemorative monuments, and constructed the first gas works in France. He was associated with Lelong in restoring and enlarging the Hotel des Archives. Through- out his life, but especially in his later years, Dubois devoted much of his time to literary research, compiling the greater part of the material for the work edited by Elie Brault and entitled, “Les Architectes par leurs uvres.” Dubois also published independently several treatises on architectural subjects.

After study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts he went to the villa Medici, where he formed a close friendship with Duban and Vaudoyer. While in Rome he made drawings of the colosseum which intro- duced him to the architectural world of France and opened the way for his association with Alavoine on the July monu- ment. The outstanding achievement of Duc’s career was the reconstruction of the Paris court-house, which occupied him at intervals during forty years. Even when called by his friend Vaudoyer to collaborate on the beautiful Marseilles cathedral, Duc did not remain long absent from Paris, where he felt that he was more needed. For reconstruction of the court-house credit must also be given to the careful execution of Dommey. Duc was inspector-general of public works and of municipal buildings and a member of the French Institute. Uniface.

After pursuing his education at Stuttgart, Munich and Berlin, he established himself in an atelier at Munich and erected the building now known as the Tonhalle, this being followed by numerous private residences and business buildings. In 1900 Duelfer completed the Stadttheater at Meran, his first effort in the line destined to develop into the highly specialized architectural activity of designing theatres and opera houses. He won a series of prizes in competition, the majority of these being in this specialty. Duelfer furnished plans for opera houses or theatres at Bremer- haven, Duisburg, Freiburg, Charlottenburg, Dresden, and Berlin. At the St. Louis Exposition in 1904 he was in charge of the section devoted to German industrial art, and built a hall for the exhibits. Obverse.

PLATE 29 ALBRECHT DURER Born 1471 at Nuremberg, where he died in 1528. The second son of his father, whose name he bore and who was a noted goldsmith, Albrecht Diirer learned the family trade, but soon turned to painting, which he studied under Michael Wohlge- muth. He received an unusual education, including mathematics, etching, wood-engraving, and sculpture, in addition to painting and architecture. After four years of study and travel in Germany and Switzerland, he returned in 1494 to Nurem- berg, where he established himself and became eminent in all of the arts which he practised. He designed a house for the physician of the Archduchess Marguerite, built the round towers still adorning the walls of Nuremberg, and made im- portant additions to the residence of Franz Gessert. Moreover, and in this resembling Rubens, Diirer gave proof of his technical knowledge by the many architectural backgrounds appearing in his paintings and etchings; again like Rubens, Diirer as a writer was a recognized authority on architectural subjects. In this latter connection there is significance in the words of the German critic Thausing, who says that Diirer’s ability as an architect is clearly indicated in his printed books as well as in the manuscripts which he left behind. It should be added that paintings from his brush are to be found in many of the great collections of the world. Uniface. Bust to left, with long flowing locks. No inscription.

PLATE 47 JOSEPH DUMONT Born of Belgian parents at Diisseldorf in 1811; died 1859 at Saint-Josse-ten-Noode lez-Bruxelles. Educated in Brussels, he early distinguished himself in ecclesiastical reconstruction, becoming an eminent exponent of gothic architecture. Appointed to a government position, he was entrusted with the restoration of the churches at Aerschot, St. Trond, and St. Hubert, as also with St. Martin of Ypres. Following his reconstruction work, Dumont built the church of St. Boni- face at Ixelles and about thirty other ecclesiastical edifices. The second part of his career was devoted largely to design- ing jails and reformatories, many of which are shown on the medals described below. At Brussels, e, Antwerp, Charleroi, Marche, Dinant, Louvain, and other large cities Dumont erected prisons having individual cells; at Ruysselde he built a large reform-school and agricultural colony, capable of receiving eight hundred young delinquents. This was his last work and one in which he took great pride. Obverse. The MAISON DE SURETE CIVILE ET MILITAIRE A LIEGE. In exergue LONGUEUR 220 | LARGEUR 4850. Signed J. WIENER F. Reverse.

FRANCOIS MARIE ELISEE DUPUIS Born 1849 at Blois; died 1920 in Paris. Educated first by his father, who was an artist and a professor at the college of Blois, Dupuis pursued his studies later at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Guenepin, winning the coveted rosette of the instruction publique and various other prizes. For many years he worked in collaboration with his father-in-law, Théo- dore Charpentier. Together they built the principal theatre at Morlaix, the casino at Royat, a chateau at Perros Guirec in Brittany, and numerous residences and villas in or near Paris and at seaside resorts. At Blois, his native city, he founded a museum in memory of his brother, Daniel Dupuis, one of the most eminent of modern medallists. 365. Uniface. Bust to left.

Dutert supervised the erection by Contamin and others of the great machinery hall which was put up in Paris for the Exposition Universelle of 1889 and was kept standing for sixteen years. There also he built the halls of anatomy and paleontology for the museum of natural history, was inspector of reconstructions on the hétel de ville, and was appointed director of instruction for the department of fine arts.

GEORGES CHARLES VICTOR DUVAL Born 1851 in Paris; died 1912. His early education was followed by study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he was a pupil of André and where he made a specialty of line drawing. His first work was the designing of bank notes for the Banque de France. Duval was consulting expert of buildings to the civic tribunal of the Seine district and to the judici- ary court of the VI™° arrondissement in Paris, being also architect to the society of the Crédit Foncier.

His studies at Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, and under Messel in Berlin were supplemented by extensive travel in Italy. He built numerous schools and villas in Milan, Heilbronn, Wiesbaden, and Frankfurt, also a sanatorium at Offenbach and one at Kissingen. In 1903 Eberhardt accompanied an archeological expedition to Asia Minor, in the capacity of architectural expert. His work is characterized by unusual attention to the details of interior finish, the plastic ornamentation of his buildings being frequently executed by his pupils. Eberhardt founded the Ger- man national leather museum. Appointed director of the school of technology at Offenbach and building inspector at Frankfurt, he has contributed many articles on the subjects of architecture and decoration to the periodicals of his country.

PLATE 42 FEAR EY ONS DALE EE MES Born 1814, probably in London; died 1847 on the island of Jamaica. He studied first under his father, James Elmes, an architect and writer established in London, later spending three years with Goodridge at Bath. Returning to London he began work in collaboration with his father, but at this time, 1838, the city of Liverpool published its intention to erect in honor of the coronation of Queen Victoria an immense concert hall for musical festivals. A nation-wide architectural competition was announced, and within four months seventy-five entries had been received, that of Elmes taking the first prize. Two years later his plans for the Liverpool assize courts carried off the award over eighty-five competitors. He designed the county lunatic asylum at Rainhill and numerous private residences in Liverpool and its environs. Obverse. Born 1266 at Colle, in valley of Mugello; died 1337 at Florence. The son of a peasant, he studied under Cimabue, and eventually became the leader of the Florentine school of painting. He was also eminent as architect and sculptor, being appointed master of works on the duomo at Florence, and of the city fortifications; he it was who designed the facade of the duomo and built the famous campanile. Ghiberti asserted that he had seen models in relief for all the details of the campanile, these being by the hand of Giotto. Most of his paintings are frescoes, of which he executed a considerable number for churches in Florence, Padua, and other Italian cities. His panel paintings, few in number, are to be found in Berlin, Munich, New York, and Boston. Among the frescoes of the Bargello at Florence is the well-known portrait of Dante. In 1334 the municipality of Florence, recalling him from Naples, appointed him “capo maestro” of the cathe- dral and “magister et gubernator” of the new church of S. Reparata; in this church he was buried with high civic honors three years later. Full description of medal will be found under No. 155 (Brunelleschi). R..E. Collection. PLATE II LOUIS MARIE XAVIER GIRARD Born at Marseilles in 1845. His early education in his native city was followed by a course of study at the Ecole des 45 ) y } ) Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was a pupil of André. He went to Greece and lived there for some time, winning first prize in competition for the opera house in Athens. There he erected the Serpieri palace and numerous private residences. Returning to France, Girard was appointed inspector of public buildings for the département Seine-et-Oise. Decorated g > r=} officer of academy, he received many foreign honors and distinctions. Portrait of Girard, architect, executed about ro04 by Antoine Baptiste Ferrari. [Forrer VII, Pp. 297.| Description taken from this source. Nore: This medal was exhibited at the Paris Salon, 1904. CHARLES LOUIS GIRAULT Born 1851 at Cosne on the Loire. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Daumet, winning numerous prizes and, lastly, the grand prix de Rome in 1880. He also received many medals at exhibitions, and prizes in competition. Girault’s earliest achievement of importance was the construction of the Petit Palais on the Champs Elysées in 1900, the year when he was decorated officer of the Legion of Honor. Also in Paris he erected hotels, private residences, and monuments, being, moreover, well known outside of his native land. This was notably the case in Belgium, where he erected the royal chateau at Laeken, the Congo museum at Tervueren, and a triumphal arch at Brussels. Girault, concededly one of the great architects of the last century, was counsellor of King Leopold IT for many of his buildings. Uniface. Bust to right.

He was a pupil of Blondel and later studied in Rome, where he collaborated with Piranesi and had a share in the reconstruction of the villa Hadrian. Upon his return to Paris he was appointed architect to Louis XV, and later designer of furniture to Louis XVI. He escaped the terrors of the Revolution by retiring to his estate at Melun and there following his father’s occupation of gardening. Commissioned by Napoleon to plan alterations at Versailles, Gondoin also erected the Vendéme column in collaboration with Lepere, and was ac- tive in the work of excavations at Herculaneum. He was a chevalier of St. Michel and was created a baron, the sole archi- tect upon whom this honor was conferred by Napoleon.

His activity covers an unusually wide territory, for in addition to three well-known churches in New York City, the chapel of the Intercession, St. Thomas’s Church, and St. Bartholomew’s, Goodhue drew the plans for a church at Ashmont, Massachusetts, for Grace Church in Chicago, Trinity Church in Havana, the Episcopal cathedral in Baltimore, and for many other ecclesiastical edifices. He designed the new buildings for the military academy at West Point, and published a book, “Architectural and Decorative Drawings,” with original pen-and-ink sketches. Obverse.

His greatest achievements lie in the department of ecclesiastical archi- tecture; he restored old churches and built many new ones, including Ashton-under-Lyne, West Bromwich and Bordes- ley, all illustrated on the medals described below. He added the spire and tower of St. Peter’s, Birmingham; rebuilt a portion of St. Michael’s, Southampton; and designed the steeple for St. Peter’s, Manchester. Among Goodwin’s works other than ecclesiastical may be mentioned the town hall at Macclesfield, the county jail at Derby, which was a model for its time in both architecture and sanitation, and the Manchester town hall and assembly rooms, considered a notable success in interior design. In 1835, the year of Goodwin’s death, appeared in book form his “Rural Architecture,” with supplements devoted to plans for cottages. Obverse.

PLATE 56 JEAN GOUJON The exact date and place of birth appear to be unrecorded, but he was born about 1515 and died in 1565 at Bologna. Although known principally as a sculptor, having been called the Phidias of France, Goujon also accomplished important work in the field of architecture. His name appears, 1540-1544, in connection with the church of St. Maclou and with the cathedral, both at Rouen. He designed reliefs for the fountain of the Innocents in the Louvre, and for the lectern in the church of St. Germain |’Auxerrois; also decorations for the hotel Carnavalet in Paris and for the chateau of Diane de Poitiers at Anet. Goujon is said to have supervised all the sculptural work of the Louvre during his long term of col- laboration with Lescot, whose intimate friend he was for many years, and with whom he is shown on the medal described under Lescot’s name.

After having studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and in the atelier of Percier, he established himself at Rouen, in which city his most im- portant works are located. These include the restoration of the law courts and the construction of the western facade for the church of St. Ouen, the latter being depicted on the medal described below. In the vicinity of Rouen Grégoire com- pleted the insane asylum which had been commenced by Jouannin, and at Fécamp he enlarged the church of St. Etienne. Appointed architect to the government for the département of the Seine inférieure, he erected numerous public buildings and private residences in that district, and was also active as a member of the commission on historic monuments. 79 480.

He studied under Labrouste and André, and was awarded the grand prix de Rome. His earliest work of importance was the new post-office in Paris, which presented many structural problems and occupied him for eight years. He also rebuilt the Théatre Francais in Paris and erected buildings in the dioceses of Ajaccio, Rennes, and St. Brieuc. Guadet was appointed professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, inspector-general of civic buildings, and a member of the higher council of public education. He received a first medal at the Paris exposition of 1878 and numerous other honors for distinguished services. Guadet published a volume on the elements and theory of architecture, and a monograph on the Colosseum. He was decorated officer of the Legion of Honor. 482. Uniface. Head to right.

He also built many of the railway stations on the line between Rosenheim and Innsbruck. In 1864, when a Polytechnicum was established at Delft, the call to a professorship was extended to Gugel, who soon made a place for himself in the archi- tectural life of Holland. He designed university buildings at Utrecht and Leyden, and at Delft he enlarged the Poly- technicum, building at his own expense a physical laboratory which he presented to the community. A member of many architectural societies, Gugel was also officer of the order of Orange-Nassau and chevalier of the Lion of the Netherlands. He wrote numerous books, including “Architectonische Vormleer” and “Geschiedenis van de bouwstijlen der Architek- tuur.” 483. Obverse. Seated figure of Architecture holding a laurel branch.

From his native city he received a scholarship for study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was a pupil of Le Bas. Being awarded the grand prix de Rome in 1856, he spent three years in Italy, and at the expiration of this time was appointed to an archeological mission to Asia Minor, the result being published in a government report. After his return to France he built the court-house and the city hall at Cambrai, and near there the chateau de Morenches; later, the Thiers museum and numerous residences in Paris, as well as buildings at Lille and Valenciennes. In 1873 a monument to Peruvian independence was erected at Lima, the designing of which was entrusted to Guillaume and Mequer in collaboration. Guillaume was appointed architect-in-charge of Versailles and the Trianon in 1879, and of the Louvre and the Tuileries in 1881. He also designed the mausoleums of a number of prominent families in the Montparnasse and Pére Lachaise cemeteries. During the last ten years of his life he held the professorship in the theory of construction at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

JOSEPH GUISLAIN Born 1797 at Ghent, where he died in 1860. After his early education in engineering and architecture, he took up the study of medicine, specializing in cerebral diseases. Guislain was eminent both as architect and as alienist, using throughout his whole career the architectural knowledge acquired in early life. He drew the plans for numerous insane asylums throughout Belgium, notably those of Brussels and Ghent, in which latter city most of his life was spent. There he was appointed physician-in-chief at the insane asylum, being also professor of comparative physiology at the university. In 1824 Guislain received the medal of architecture from the Belgian Société royale des Beaux-Arts..

In Holzminden, where the greater part of his life was spent, Haarmann erected the Neubau on the Holzmindenerstrasse and also the trade school for the duchy of Braunschweig, which school, established under the patronage of the duke, was long looked upon as a model for institutions having similar aims. Haarmann lived for a time in Braunschweig, holding the position of privy building director, but was recalled to Holzminden, where he was appointed official architect to the Weser district in close association with Duke Wilhelm.

PLATE 77 THOMAS HAMILTON There appears to be no record as to the birthplace of this British architect, though it is known that he was born in 1784, that he died in 1858, and that the greater part of his life was spent in Scotland. In his youth he was regularly apprenticed as working carpenter to his father, later acting as his assistant. Hamilton’s earliest independent work was in connection with the monument erected to Robert Burns at Alloway in Ayrshire, and commenced in 1820 on the anniversary of the poet’s birth; but the architect’s first work of importance was the erection of a school building on the heights above Edin- burgh, an edifice long regarded as one of the chief ornaments of that city. The town hall at Ayr was erected by him, as also other buildings in Ayrshire, and a parish church with a most original tower at Alyth near Perth. Hamilton’s activity, however, was not limited to Scotland, his name being associated with two London churches, St. Andrew’s-in-the-wall and St. John’s on Victoria Street. Collaborating with Medland, he built the church and cemetery at Birmingham which are shown on the medal described in this work. He was one of the charter members of the Royal Scottish Academy.

This was in Athens, where fifteen years later he designed the magnificent edifice of the academy of sciences. Called to Vienna, Hansen at first collaborated in the erection of several large churches, his earliest independent work in that city being the museum of weapons for the arsenal. Hansen’s name is associated with an unusual number of architectural styles, including the Byzantine, Moorish, Italian renaissance, and late gothic.

PLATE 56 JOSEPH ALOYSIUS HANSOM Born 1803 at York; died 1882 in London. At thirteen years of age he was apprenticed to his father to learn the trade of joiner, but showing real aptitude for designing, his papers were allowed to lapse and he was apprenticed to an architect at York. There he attended night school to improve his limited education, at the same time tutoring boys younger than himself. In 1825 he settled in Halifax as assistant to an architect named Oates, who inspired his enthusiasm for the gothic style; three years later Hansom entered into partnership with Edward Welch, in collaboration with whom he built numerous churches, the most notable being located at Liverpool, Hull, and on the Isle of Man. The municipality of Birmingham having announced an open competition for its new town hall, the designs of Hansom and Welch received the award; the building is shown on the medals described below. Completed in 1833, it greatly enhanced the reputation of its archi- tects, though the financial terms brought them into bankruptcy. Hoping to retrieve his fortune, Hansom registered his design for a cab, the vehicle which still bears his name. In 1842, realizing the need of intercommunication among the building trades, Hansom was instrumental in founding the periodical known as “The Builder.” During the latter part of his life he built churches at Arundel, Cambridge, Leeds, Manchester, Oxford, Preston, and Ryde.

He built a church at Cunault and the Eglise du Rosaire at Lourdes, famous as the shrine of pilgrims from all parts of the world. Hardy also drew the plans for an industrial exhibition building at Stuttgart. He was appointed architect of the imperial commission, chief architect for the Expositions Universelles of 1867 and 1878, and inspector of public build- ings. He was made chevalier and later officer of the Legion of Honor. Uniface. Bust to left. L. AMEDEE | HARDY. | ARCHTE | 1868 |— Below TEMOIGNAGE AFFECTUEUX Signed H.

The free country life on his native heath, combined with his early education in the local schools, aroused the enthusiasm which he conserved throughout his whole career for both architecture and literature. As appren- tice to John Hicks, an ecclesiastical architect, Hardy was sent about Dorchester to study medieval gothic churches with a view to their restoration, Armed with sketch-book and measuring line, climbing the sloping roofs to make drawings of towers and pinnacles, he did his work, unconscious prototype of his own characters-to-be, for in several of his novels there appears a young architect sent to report upon the condition of some decaying country church. After six years of apprenticeship under Hicks, Hardy went to London as assistant to Sir Arthur Blomfield, R.A. In 1862 an essay on terra- cotta architecture won for him the Institute medal, and the same year he received a prize for plans entered in competi- tion. Later he turned definitely to literature, but without forgetting his early architectural interest, many traces of which appear in his stories. Hardy has always shown a predilection for the gothic gargoyle, which might be taken as symbolic of his philosophy of life. To his knowledge of architecture is doubtless due some of the grace and symmetry that mark his writings. Uniface. Bust to left.

He was a pupil of Nicodemus Tessin, the court architect of Sweden, and after travel in France and Italy returned to Stockholm, there receiving an appointment to collaborate with Tessin. After the death of the latter, Harleman was commissioned to continue the work on the Stockholm palace, as well as to make important additions to that of Drottningholm, and to build an observatory. He was appointed chief superintendent of royal residences, architect to the king, and as a knight of the order of the North Star was master of ceremonies at the functions of all knightly orders. His reputation extended beyond the confines of Sweden, his designs being in demand in other countries and winning for him foreign honors and decorations. 507. Obverse.

After preliminary studies in America he completed his professional education at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Returning to New York, Hastings formed a partnership with Carrere in 1885, and together they designed many notable buildings, among the earlier ones being two churches and the hotels Alcazar and Ponce de Leon at St. Augustine. At Lakewood, N. J., the firm built Georgian Court and Laurel-in-the-Pines; while in New York City numerous structures of importance have been erected by Carrere and Hastings, among these the Public Library, the Mail and Express building, and the Frick residence. They also built many other city and country residences throughout the United States. Hastings has been decorated by the French government and made chevalier of the Legion of Honor. He has held directorships in the Federation of Fine Arts, the American Institute of Architects, the museum of French art, the National Sculpture Society, and that of the Beaux-Arts Architects.

In the following year, 1864, he became a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, being the first American to register there. Returning to his native land, he established himself in Philadelphia, where he was professor at the School of Design for Women and president of the Sketch Club. Heaton has shown wide diversity of tastes and interests, being perhaps best known as a numismatist, and having held office in many numismatic societies. As an architect he designed and executed numerous private residences, principally in Philadelphia and its environs, also some bungalows and a casino in the south. He has published several collections of verse, while his painting, “The Recall of Columbus,” hangs in the capitol at Washington. Obverse. Bust to right.

In Paris he designed the government library of the quai d’Orsay, had a share in the work on the hotel Carnavelet, planned the Moliére monument and was in charge of the interior finish of the Louvre and of the chateau Ferriéres. Nor was his work limited to Paris: going to Portugal he designed a monument to Dom Pedro IV at Lisbon, and another at Callao to commemorate the victory of the Chileans over the Spaniards. Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, he was also the recipient of numerous medals. Portrait medallion of Hénard, Architect, executed in 1877 by Eugene André Oudiné.

His education was pursued in his native city, where he studied engineer- ing at the school of mines; almost immediately after completing this course he received an appointment in the service of the Belgian state railways, being called from that position to Paris to collaborate in the development of the municipal traction system. The “Revue Belge” is authority for the statement that he is to be regarded as an architect. In 1874, at a special session of the Belgian Numismatic Society which convened at Liége, a jeton was presented to each member present; this jeton, showing a compass crossed by a quill pen, in addition to various insignia of the Hennequin family, has been interpreted as indicating the two dominant interests of the subject of this sketch, architecture giving way to literature. After 1875, Alfred Hennequin devoted himself almost exclusively to the writing of plays, among which may be mentioned “Le Procés Vaudarieux” and “Les Dominos roses,” these and others having been presented at Paris and elsewhere in France.

After completing his education he turned for a time to interior decoration and to the painting of theatre scenery, but in 1840 and largely through the influence of Steinkopf, he decided to devote himself to depicting landscapes and architectural subjects. With this in view he travelled through Italy, France, Germany, and Belgium, making careful study of the principles of design in their application to his chosen specialties. Herdtle pro- duced some admirable paintings of buildings, showing such comprehension of the subject and grasp of detail as reveal the trained architect.

Having first studied under his father, Hans Holl, a master-builder, the young Elias worked with him for a time before going to Italy for study and travel. While in Venice he became so strongly imbued with the spirit of the late renaissance as represented by the works of Palladio, that upon his return Holl’s architectural ideals made their impress upon the entire city. From 1602 to 1631 he held various positions under the municipality, dur- ing this time building the Zunfthaus der Bicker, the Zeughaus, the Metzgerhaus, a large hospital, as well as numerous turrets, towers, and bridges. His principal work, the Augsburger Rathaus, completed in 1620 and shown on the medal described below, had occupied all of his time for the previous five years. Holl published an autobiography in which he used his own buildings as a basis for the discussion of architectural theories and principles. Meyer has called him one of the greatest representatives of the Italian spirit in the renaissance architecture of Germany. go 536. 538. 539. Obverse. Facade of the town hall in Augsburg.

His education at the Technische Hochschule in Budapest was supplemented by study and practical experience in the atelier of Professor Hauszmann. In Budapest he erected a monastery, school, and church for the Piarist order, also other churches, buildings for the Hungarian brewery, the Farmers’ Insurance Company, a commercial college, several palatial residences, and numerous smaller dwellings. Appointed professor at the Technische Hochschule, he was also vice-president of the Society of Hungarian Engineers and Architects, and president of the Hungarian Association of Plastic Arts. His most important book is entitled “Bernini,” and is a treatise on the history of architecture. Uniface. Head to left. DESIDERIVS DE HVLTL Signed in monogram F 6 B (F. O. Beck). 154 mm. Bronze cast.

At the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, which he entered as one of its youngest pupils, Hulot distinguished him- self by the number of prizes and honors which were awarded to him. He was chosen logiste five times, in addition to which thirteen medals of the Beaux-Arts were won by him while a student, as also the prix Chaudesaigues, prix Leclaire, prix gl 540. 541. 542. 543. 544. Labarre, prix Blouet, prix des Architectes américains, and finally the grand prix de Rome. In 1904, his fourth year of study at the villa Medici, he spent a month visiting Greek ruins for the purpose of selecting one as the basis for his design of a restoration, as required of all holders of the prix de Rome. He finally decided upon the entire town of Sélinonte in Sicily; the drawings which he sent to Paris were so remarkable as to be held worthy of reproduction in book form, with text by Gustave Fougéres, professor at the Sorbonne: an imposing volume of three hundred pages, royal folio.

His courses of study under Darier in Geneva and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris were followed immediately by a commission from Napoleon III for work on the Louvre. Returning to America in 1855, Hunt opened an office in New York City and entered upon a career crowned with success and honor. He erected the Tribune building, the Presbyterian Hospital, and many residences, including those for the Vanderbilt, Gerry, and Astor families. Among important buildings designed and executed by him outside of New York, may be mentioned the National Observatory in Washington, the administration building for the World’s Fair of 1893 in Chicago, and the Fogg museum at Harvard. He received countless honors and distinctions in America and abroad; chevalier of the Legion of Honor, honorary member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris and of the order of S. Luca in Rome, he also received the Queen’s gold medal from the British Institute. The Affiliated Arts Societies erected a monu- ment to him in New York, opposite the old Lenox Library which he had designed. On one of the Vanderbilt houses there was the statue of a workman with mallet and chisel, the head of the figure being a portrait of Hunt. Uniface. Bust to right, ornamented rim.

CHARLES EDWARD HUTCHINSON Born in the latter part of the eighteenth century, probably in or near Birmingham. The first authenticated information concerning Hutchinson is to the effect that he became a pupil of Thomas Rickman in 1818; three years later he was ad- mitted to partnership. This firm specialized in ecclesiastical architecture, as mentioned in the biographical note on the senior architect, found elsewhere in this work. Hutchinson collaborated with Rickman on St. Peter’s Church, Birmingham, and on St. George’s Church in the same city, having an important share in the designing of churches at Hampton Lucy, Glasgow, Mellor, and Darwen, as also in the restoration of Rose Castle, the seat of the Bishop of Carlisle. His architec- tural career was a relatively short one, as he died in 1831, ten years after his admission to partnership with Rickman. Full description of medal will be found under No. 831 (Rickman). PLATE 86 Full description of medal will be found under No. 832 (Rickman). PLATE 86 LUDWIG JAMBOR Born 1869 in Budapest. After study at the Polytechnicum of his native city, where he was awarded the gold medal and the travelling scholarship of the Society of Engineers and Architects, Jambor visited many countries. On his return to Budapest he associated himself with Zoltan Balint, in collaboration with whom he built the assembly room at Szathmar, a school at Nagykanizsa, the synagogue in Budapest-Lipotvaros, the town hall of the district of Hajdiner, a parish house for the Reformed Church at Debrecz, and many private residences in Budapest. In collaboration, Balint and Jambor also de- signed the Hungarian section for the Paris Exposition of 1900, for which the grand prix was awarded to them jointly. Jambor was appointed a member of the Hungarian national ministry of architecture. Full description of medal will be found under No. 38 (Balint). R.F.E. Collection. 545. 546. 547. 548. 549. GEORGES FERNAND JANIN Born 1880 at Nimes; died 1912 in Rome. In his nineteenth year he went to Paris and began his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, later gaining practical experience under Laloux, the famous architect of the Orsay palace. In spite of his youth, Janin distinguished himself as a student at the Beaux-Arts, winning many medals and prizes, among these the second grand prix, the prix Rougevin, and the prix Stillman.

There he designed the pub- lic baths of the rue des Tanneurs and several mercantile buildings. In Brussels also Janssens erected the Masonic temple which is commemorated on the medal described below. He wrote a treatise dealing with the construction of schoolhouses and having special reference to the problems of heating and ventilation; this book was illustrated by drawings for model schools of various types.

Following his study of architecture and engineering at Bologna, and under Selva in Venice, Japelli was called to Padua and entered upon an active career. There he drew the plans for the university and executed a monument to Palladio, building the Pedrocchi restaurant and the Giacomini palace. His greatest archi- tectural achievement was unquestionably the Teatro Nuovo, the medal described below being issued in 1847 to commemo- rate his work in connection with this structure.

PLATE 42 THOMAS JEFFERSON Born 1743 at Shadwell, Virginia; died 1826 at Monticello. Early in life he showed his interest in sculpture and architecture by study of the classical models in both fields; his desire for a political career developed somewhat later. Having served successively as a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and of the Continental Congress, he was chosen in 1776 to draft the Declaration of Independence. During the decade, 1779-1789, Jefferson devoted his time to his political responsi- bilities, being successively Governor of Virginia, Member of Congress, and Minister to France. Later he was Secretary of State and Vice-President, and in 1801 was elected Pr iana Purchase referred to on many of his medals was one of the outstanding events of his administration. It is due to sident of the United States, holding office for two terms. The Louis- Jefferson’s critical taste in sculpture that Houdon obtained the commission for the statue of Washington at Richmond; but whereas in sculpture Jefferson ranks as a highly cultivated amateur, in building and engineering he had the knowledge of the professional. As architect of the University of Virginia, he made the details which have been preserved to this day, the drawings bearing in his own hand specific instructions to the carpenters and other artisans. Jefferson also built Monti- cello, his beautiful home in Virginia, which is depicted on one of the medals, executing all the plans and elevations. Shortly efore his death he began work on the design for an astronomical observatory at Charlottesville. It is to be regretted that his ability as an architect is not more generally known. To him are attributed certain features of the White House and the Capitol at Washington; also the classic revival as applied to public buildings and private dwellings throughout the country. His activity in his chosen avocation has been treated exhaustively in two books of recent date, “Thomas Jefferson as an Architect,” by William Alexander Lambeth, M. D., and Warren H. Manning, and “Thomas Jefferson, Architect,” the atter an authoritative volume by Dr. Fiske Kimball. 551. Obverse. Bust to left, with wig and in the garb of the period. TH.

PLATE 66 Note: The above is reproduced from the original gold medal presented by the President of France to Miss Margaret Behan on Bas- tille day, July 14, 1925. Miss Behan was instrumental in securing funds, in the City of New York, for the Thomas Jefferson Me- morial Foundation. Having raised a larger sum than any of the women who conducted similar efforts in other cities, and who were sent as official delegates on a patriotic pilgrimage to Paris, Miss Behan received the title of “Miss Liberty” and the gold medal. This medal has a further interest in that it was Mr. Bartlett’s contribution to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation and probably the last which he designed prior to his death. i FRANCIS YEATES JOANNES Born 1876 at Green Bay, Wisconsin. From Cornell University he received the degree of B. Arch. in 1900, and won a grad- uate fellowship. Later he went to Paris for specialized work at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts; while there he won the Jean Le- clair prize, and in 1906 received the diploma of the Ecole. Immediately upon his return to America, Joannes became asso- ciated with Francis H. Kimball, and for five years acted as designer in the erection of numerous structures of the office- building and bank-building type. Hereupon followed a period of two years as manager for Donn Barber, after which Joannes established himself temporarily in Canada, where, as associate in the firm of Ross and MacDonald, he de- voted his time to the construction of railway hotels and termini. Returning to his own country in 1915, he has developed his practice along the lines of private residences and factories, as well as the warehouses for the Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Company. Joannes is a member of the Société des Architectes Diplémés, of the American Institute of Archi- tects, and of the Beaux-Arts Society. Uniface. Bust to left.

THOMAS ROBERT JOHNSON Born 1872 at Toronto; died 1915 in New York City. He attended art and technical schools in his native city, where he later studied under Lenox and where he won for himself a reputation as a draughtsman and designer of rare taste and ability. In 1896 he went to New York and remained there until his death, during the greater part of this time holding a position in the office of Cass Gilbert.

At the conclusion of his preparatory education, he went to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he was a pupil of Delespine and Delagardette, and where he won the prix départe- mental. At first de Joly divided his interest and his activities equally between architecture and the industrial arts, es- pecially lithography, and organized two large expositions of industrial arts at the Louvre; later he devoted himself al- most exclusively to construction and design. His first work of importance was the rebuilding of the offices for the na- tional ministry of public education, this being followed by the restoration of the ancient chamber of deputies, a work commemorated by the medal described below. His success was so marked as to win for him the appointment as archi- tect in charge of transforming the Bourbon palace into the official seat of the French government. This stupendous un- dertaking, which included remodelling the presidential mansion and connecting it with the chamber of deputies, occupied him for many years. De Joly compiled treatises on ornamentation and bas-reliefs, writing also “Historique du palais Bourbon.” He received the cross of the Legion of Honor. Obverse. Head of Charles X to left.

At the beginning of his career he went to Italy and there received important commissions for work, notably for a palace in Venice and for the facade of the cathedral at Leghorn. His fame spread to Denmark, and the king, Chris- tian IV, invited him to visit that country. On his return to England, Inigo Jones was appointed court architect, later surveyor of public works and inspector of royal buildings to James I. He built the new palace at Whitehall, the ban- queting room of which is shown on the medal, Lincoln’s Inn chapel, the famous portico of old St. Paul’s, and was in charge of the reconstruction of that cathedral in 1631. His name is associated with many country estates and with ar- rangements for court festivals and masques, and he it was who first employed in England mechanism for shifting stage scenery. Uniface.

GERRIT JOHANNES pve JONGH Born 1845 at Willemstad, in southwestern Holland; died 1917 in Rotterdam. He studied engineering and architecture, devoting his time to fortifications and other forms of military construction while holding rank as an officer in the Dutch army. Subsequently de Jongh built numerous residences in Rotterdam and its environs; later still, and following his appointment to the directorship of public works for that city, he erected several large schools, including the institute at Steenbeck and the Latin school at Rotterdam, also other buildings of public utility. For over thirty years he was active in this service for the municipality, and upon his retirement in 1910 received from the citizens of Rotterdam the medal which is described below. His advice as an expert was sought by the authorities of St. Petersburg, as also by the city of Sourabaia in India, to which he was called in tg09. De Jongh was decorated commander of the order of the Lion of the Netherlands, and was a member of the national parliament. Obverse. Bust to left.

PLATE 85 KARL KAISER Born 1833 in Vienna, and died near there at Inzersdorf in 1895. Early recognized with favor at the Austrian court, he entered into intimate relationship with the young Archduke Maximilian, brother of Francis Joseph. At the time of the French influence in Mexico, about 1863, a party of Mexican nobles supported by Napoleon III offered the throne to Maxi- milian. He accepted, and immediately sent for Kaiser, who spent three years, 1864~1867, in building and restoring the palaces of Mexico City under the direction of the new emperor. After the execution of the latter, following a republican uprising, Kaiser returned to Vienna, where he established himself, entering upon a new and successful phase of his career. This later activity consisted in the restoration of numerous medieval castles and palaces, including Auersberg, Lichten- stein, Kreuzenstein, and Seebarn on the Danube. Uniface.

The medals described below depict the Stadhuis, of which he was the architect. He built a hunting-lodge for himself near Amersfoort, and erected many private mansions, including Kog- manshaus in Amsterdam, the Huygens residence at The Hague, that of Baron Zuylichem at Voorburg, a manor house at Ryswyk, and numerous other residences. Van Kampen also designed the monuments which were erected in honor of the Admirals Tromp and van Galen. Obverse.

He was the nephew and namesake of that Rombaut Keldermans, eminent artist in stained glass, who was associated with de Layens in work on the town hall of Louvain, and was the son of an architect at Malines from whom he received his early training. Collaborating for a time with his father and after the death of the latter with his brother Antoine, who was also an architect, he brought to a successful completion several edifices begun by one or the other, notably the chapels of Notre Dame and of St. Pierre and the hotel Busleiden, all at Malines. There also he executed important work on the palace of Margaret of Austria, and designed for the govern- ment a large building of which only a part was executed. In 1515 Keldermans was appointed architect to the king and at the same time raised to the nobility. The only work of importance executed by de Keldermans alone after this date was the reconstruction of the abbey of Tongerloo on which he worked at intervals during the years 1522-1526. Seven years earlier, immediately following his appointment as court architect and owing to the pressure of work attached to this position, he had sent for his friend Dominique de Waghemaekere, under whose name will be found fuller particulars of their work in collaboration. Here mention is made only of the town hall at Ghent, the perspective of which is shown on the medal described below.

Most of his life was spent in that city, which was the centre of his architec- tural activity. He was among the first to erect lofty office buildings and these gained for him the reputation of being “the father of the skyscraper.” He designed the City Investing building, the pediment over the entrance being shown on the medal described below, the Manhattan Life Insurance Company, Adams Express, the United States Realty, Em- pire, and Trinity office buildings, all on lower Broadway, and the Garrick, Casino, and Fifth Avenue theatres. When erecting one of the latter, permission to underpin the adjoining property having been refused, Kimball solved the prob- lem by sinking caissons filled with masonry. 102 618. 619. 620. 621. 622.

Kirby was associated for many years with George B. Post, but later became senior partner in the firm of Kirby and Petit. Among buildings designed by him in whole or in part are those of the Stock Exchange, American Bank Note Company, and Doubleday, Page & Company; also the Vanderbilt, Carroll, and other residences, all in New York City.

In 1893 he completed the Hofburg, the imposing front of which, facing the Michaelerplatz, is depicted on the medal mentioned here. Kirschner’s plans for a cemetery were shown at the exhibition of Austrian artists in 1857. An ad- mirable delicacy of touch is characteristic of his pen drawings and aquarelles. Uniface.

His technical education, begun in Berlin under Schinkel, was supple- mented by study in Italy and England. In 1806 he was appointed court architect to King Jerome of Westphalia, and later official director of buildings. In 1814 the Crown Prince of Bavaria called von Klenze to Munich for work on the Glyp- tothek, which occupied him during the greater part of fourteen years. Many of his adaptations of classic models to modern conditions and requirements have been most successful. Among his best works in Munich are the Leuchtenberg palace, the war office, the old Pinakothek, the court theatre, the court church, and the Bavarian Ruhmeshalle. Outside of Munich should be mentioned the Walhalla near Regensburg, shown on the medals described in this work, and the Befrei- ungshalle near Kelheim. Von Klenze wrote numerous treatises on architectural subjects. A street in Munich has been named in his honor. | t | 623. 624. 625. 626. 627. 628. Uniface. Head to right.

PLATE 73 PAUL KORTZ There is little available information concerning the life and professional activity of this Viennese engineer and architect, who held the position of municipal councillor for the department of buildings. In 1900 the medal which is mentioned be- low was issued in his honor by the Society of Engineers and Architects in Vienna. Twelve years later, when this associa- tion decided to put into execution the long-discussed project of preparing for the press two large volumes of literary and artistic merit, descriptive of all important buildings in the city of Vienna, Paul Kortz was chosen as editor-in-chief. The first volume deals with the achieyements in hydraulics and other phases of municipal engineering; the second volume de- scribes and illustrates all of the notable works in architecture. These books, published in 1914, offer strong proof as to the ability and influence of Kortz in both fields. Uniface. Plaguette executed in 1900 by Foseph Tautenhayn, Fr. 150% 220 mm. Silver cast.

The son of Professor Erwin Kurz, an eminent sculptor, he studied at Munich and later at Karlsruhe. From the outset of his career he entered plans in competition, winning many prizes for his designs of churches, schools, town halls, and monuments. Among ecclesiastical edifices erected by him are St. Georg at Munich and St. Otto at Bamberg; while among his industrial buildings should be noted numerous power-houses and motor works. In Munich, Kurz has designed private residences, apartment houses, schools, and villas, but his activity has not been limited to that city, his name being associated with buildings and monuments in various parts of south Germany. He has been a pioneer in high office buildings, though his design for the first real skyscraper in Munich was not executed. Kurz has been active both as lecturer and writer on many phases of urban architecture. 104 629. 630. 631. 632. 633. Obverse. Head to left. ARCHITEKTUS O. O.

After several years of travel in Italy and Greece, he drew plans for a proposed restoration of the Athenian acropolis; these won high praise, leading to his appointment as architect-in-charge of the Trianon and of the chateau at Versailles, where he was permitted to establish an atelier. Later he was appointed to the chair of stereot- omy at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, a position which occupied much of his time. Decorated officer of the Legion of Honor, Lambert also received medals from numerous expositions and was a member of all the national architectural societies of France. Uniface.

ARMAND EUGENE LAPORTE Born 1853 at Etampes in the département of Seine-et-Oise. His preliminary studies at the Frélat school of architecture in Paris were followed by courses at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and by special work under Train and Coquart. Laporte won several prizes in competition, including one for the college at Meaux. Establishing himself in an atelier in Paris, he developed an extensive practice in the construction of private residences, at the same time serving the municipality as an expert in architectural matters. It has been stated that there is a contemporary portrait medal of Laporte which was executed by the Comtesse Albazzi. JOHANN CLAUDIUS von LASAULX Born 1781 at Coblentz; died in 1848. Little is recorded of his early life or education, but it is known that his prelimi- nary studies were followed by courses in law, medicine, and architecture. Finally choosing the latter as his profession, Lasaulx designed numerous churches, civic buildings, and private residences. The best-known structure associated with his name is doubtless Schloss Rheineck. He held public offices of responsibility in Prussia. Portrait medal of 7. C. v.

A student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts at the time of the apotheos gothic, he was one of the most enthusiastic exponents of this style of architecture, proclaiming Greek forms to be equally unsuited to the religion and to the climate of France, and adding that even the French building materials do not adapt themselves to classic construction. From 1840 until his death, Lassus was associated with Viollet-le-Duc in the supervision of religious edifices in several départements of France, sharing in the work of restoration of St. Germain |’Auxerrois and of the cathedrals of Chartres and Moulins, and being largely responsible for the new sacristy of Notre Dame in Paris. Lassus was also eminent as a writer, having compiled numerous monographs on notable cathedrals, as well as a volume of more general interest entitled “Réaction de l’académie des Beaux-Arts contre l’art gothique.” 637a.

In all probability he was born at Layens, a small hamlet near Bajenrieux in Hainaut. Being appointed master mason for Lou- vain and its environs, he established himself in that city, where he was soon called upon to collaborate with Jean Kel- dermans in the reconstruction of the church of St. Pierre, and eventually succeeded Keldermans upon the death of the latter. In 1448 the city fathers of Louvain invited the presentation of plans for a new town hall; those of de Layens being chosen by the municipality and approved by Gilles Pauwels, then court architect, de Layens was commissioned to execute his designs. To this work he devoted much of his time during fifteen years, producing an edifice which is still well preserved and which is unquestionably one of the most impressive government buildings erected in the Middle Ages. Much later, and also at Louvain, de Layens built a large assembly hall known as the Table ronde, and though less richly decorated, of the same general architectural style as the town hall which is shown on the medal here described.

CHARLES LE BRUN Born 1619 in Paris; died in 1690 at Gobelins. His artistic bent early asserted itself and led him to Rome, where he re- mained four years in close association with Poussin, Perrier, and Vouet. On his return to Paris he received honors and commissions for work from Louis XIV and from Colbert. He was made director of the Gobelins and charged by the king to reproduce in tapestry a series of scenes from the life of Alexander the Great. In 1679 he began the transformation of the hunting-lodge of Louis XIII at Versailles into a palace with wide-reaching wings; at Versailles he designed also the fountains in the court of the palace, the decorations of the grand staircase, the hall of Apollo, the museum, and the famous room of mirrors with its ceiling paintings depicting in allegory the triumphs of Louis XIV. He drew the plans for the chateau at Sceaux, for the smaller gallery of the Louvre, for facades and portals and altars of many churches. Under his influence the king founded the Royal academy of painting, and Le Brun was also instrumental in founding the Ecole de France in Rome. He was ennobled in 1684. Obverse.

PLATE 68 ODON LECHNER Born 1846 in Budapest, where he died in 1914. After preliminary study at the Technische Hochschule in his native city, he continued his education under Schinkel in Berlin. Strongly imbued with the Hungarian national spirit, he expressed this in his drawings by his use of color and choice of building material, as well as by his designs. In Budapest Lechner erected the museum of industrial art, the institute of geology, a bank, an apartment house, and a church in the suburb of K6ébanya. He also built a court-house at Nagybecskerek, town halls at Kecskemét and Szeged, and numerous churches, including one at Steinbruch. In 1901 he was appointed royal councillor. 647. Obverse.

In 1808 his drawings for the restoration of the Pantheon won the grand prix de Rome, enabling him to travel and study in Italy. When in Florence he designed a monument to Bonchamp, the French general. Upon his return to France, Leclére established an atelier in connection with which he devoted much time to instruction in architecture, one of his pupils being Viollet-le-Duc. At the same time he developed a specialty of chateaux, erecting many throughout France, as attest the names Brissac, Bandeville, Chastellux, Montesquieu, Moreuil, Mont- huchet, Nicolai, and Verneuil. He also built the Maisons Lafayette in Paris, restored the cathedral at Bordeaux, and executed several monuments. Chevalier of the Legion of Honor and member of the French Institute, he was also archi- vist of the section of architecture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In 1854, the year after his death, the prize bearing the name of Achille Leclére was founded by his widow. 649. Uniface. Head to left. A.

In Paris Leroux built several schools and the immense hippodrome, besides hav- ing an important share in the building erected for “Le Petit Journal.” He designed the town hall at Cognac, a home for aged men and an asylum at Chateau-Thierry. Inspector of the engineering and architectural work connected with al- terations on the Louvre, Leroux was also inspector for the prefecture of the Seine and official architect of the city of Paris. He designed the French national buildings for two foreign expositions, that of Vienna in 1873 and of Barcelona in 1888. He was chevalier of the order of Charles III of Spain.

The youngest of four brothers, all of whom became eminent in the natural sciences, mathematics, or engineering, he decided early in life to devote himself to architecture. With this end in view he went to Greece, where he lived for severa years, collecting material for books which he wrote later, and becoming so im- bued with the spirit of Greek architecture as to render his embodiment of classic standards his lasting contribution to the architectural development of France. During his professorship of forty years in Paris, Leroy exercised a wide-spread influ- ence. A member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, he published numerous books, many of them dealing with archwo- logical subjects.

Through this work, executed at the command of Francois I, and through many treatises in finished literary style, he did much to interpret to the France of his day all that was best in the architectural phase of the Renaissance. Lescot was appointed canon of Notre Dame, receiving on one occasion a special dispensation which permitted him to officiate at a cathedral service wearing his beard. He is a popular and sympathetic figure, his name in- separably associated with the Louvre, a relation emphasized by the medal referred to on this page. His most important contributions to the edifice are the fagade of the clock, the hall of the hundred Swiss, the hall of the caryatides, and the fountain of the nymphs, later called the fountain of the innocents. 109 655.

Early in his career Licht established himself in Leipzig, where for many years he held the position of supervisor of buildings and where he erected numerous private residences and the new town hall, which is depicted on the medal. Outside of Leip- zig, Licht’s work includes the Gartensaal in Berlin and the villa Belmonte in the Rheingau. He is favorably known as a writer, having published “Die Architektur Berlins,” “Die Architektur Deutschlands,” and other books.

It is, however, established that he was a native of Udine, one of the beautiful hill towns of the province of Venice, and that he was a contemporary of Bar- tolomeo della Cisterna, renowned for his construction work on the cathedral of Cividale in the same province. In 1451 Lionelli was commissioned by the city of Udine to erect a town hall which should follow closely in architectural style and spirit the best work of the previous century. The critic Man go has affirmed unhesitatingly that the town hall of Udine does not suffer by comparison with the numerous magnificent edifices built in that part of Italy at the time when art was most flourishing. This building having been destroyed by fire in 1866, the municipality made public appeals to the citi- zens for its reconstruction; in less than two years the money had been collected and the edifice rebuilt.

His early education was followed by study under Gossaert and Arnold de Beer and supplemented by travel in Italy. Upon his return to Belgium, Lombard was attached to the suite of the Bishop of Liége, for whom he executed many commissions in the domains of architecture and painting. He also designed numerous private residences in the renaissance style, notably one for Vanderbeck and that of van Wyngarde in the vicinity of the cathedral. He compiled a small dictionary of art which aroused the interest of Vasari, who refers to Lombard as a most learned man and an eminent architect. Uniface. Bust facing to right.

GIOVANNI BATTISTA LONATI Born in the latter part of the fifteenth century, presumably in Milan. His education as pursued in Rome was strongly influenced by the distinctively Roman architecture of the school of Bramante, a fact which reveals itself in the churches associated with Lonati’s name. Joseph, in his, “Geschichte der Baukunst,” refers to him as a Milanese architect known to have been active in 1523, that being the date of the completion of the church of the Madonna di Piazza in Busto, Arizio. Some authorities claim that the plans of Ballarati were followed in this edifice, but Joseph seems inclined to the opinion that Lonati executed his own designs. Certain it is that he did so in the church erected later, that of Bertonico at San Angelo Lodigiano. Obverse. Bust to right. IO - BAPTISTA - LONATVS + ARCHITEC 4 left AN at the right XX Reverse.

LOUIS BERNARD GEORGES LOQUET Born 1848 at Parthenay in the département of Deux Sévres. A pupil of Joyau and Moyaux at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, he received numerous medals in his student days and several prizes for drawings entered in competition, notably for an asylum at Amiens and a hospital at St. Gilles-sur-Vie. Throughout his whole career Loquet has specialized in public buildings such as churches, hospitals, prisons, asylums, and schools. In particular may be mentioned the insane asylum at Grimaudiére, the prefecture at Roche-sur-Yon, and the normal school in the latter city. Conservator of historic monu- ments in the Vendée, decorated officer of academy and of public instruction, Loquet held also the position of official architect for Roche-sur-Yon.

HIERONYMUS LOTTER Born about 1497 in Nuremberg; died in 1580 at Geyer. He was originally a merchant and his career as an architect be- gan upon his removal to Leipzig about 1545. His chief works are the town hall in Leipzig and Schloss Pleissenburg on the river Pleisse, also the town hall at Pegau, Schloss Augustusburg in the Erzgebirge, and Schloss Moritzburg near Dresden. Lotter was court architect to the elector of Saxony and several times burgomaster of Leipzig. The medal here mentioned was found in the “Turmknopf” of the old Rathaus at Leipzig. It has been authoritatively stated that it was placed there by Lotter himself. Obverse. Bust to left.

BENOIT EDOUARD LOVIOT Born 1849 in Paris, where he died in 1921. He studied under Lacroix and under Coquart. It was doubtless to the influ- ence of the latter, who had made a special study of the Parthenon, that Loviot owed the success of his drawings for the proposed restoration of that edifice, as probably also his plans for restoring the Lysicrates monument in Athens, and the temple of Castor and Pollux in Rome. He designed numerous chateaux throughout France, and during a prolonged visit to New York erected several buildings in that city. In 1879 he was awarded the first-class medal of that year’s salon, and soon after received the cross of the Legion of Honor. Appointed architect to the French government, he also held the position of consulting expert to the municipal tribunal of Paris. Uniface. Bust to right.

CHARLES FOLLEN McKIM Born 1847 at Isabella Furnace, in Chester County, Pennsylvania; died 1909 at St. James, Long Island. After study at the Harvard scientific school and at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, he formed with W. R. Mead a partnership of which Stanford White later became a member. Among the numerous important buildings erected by the firm during the period of Mc- Kim’s leadership may be mentioned the Morgan library and also the Harvard, Bowdoin, and Columbia libraries, the last mentioned commemorated on the medallion here described. They further designed the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, the state capitol at Providence, and fine club buildings in New York City, including the University, Metro- politan, Harvard, and Century. By special request McKim served on the Congressional Committee for Parks at Wash- ington. He was the founder of the American Academy in Rome, an honorary member of the American Institute of Archi- tects, and of the National Academy. A rare combination of savant and architect, cautious, conservative, scholarly, and deliberate, he weighed his decisions and then carried them into execution, making of each building an architectural event characterized by that sober perfection which stands the test of criticism and of time. In 1903 King Edward VII con- ferred on him a medal in recognition of his services in the promotion of architecture. Uniface. Bust to right.

He is eminent as both architect and painter. Magonigle gained his early ex- perience in the offices of McKim, Mead and White, and with Rotch and Tilden. He was gold medallist of the New York Architectural League in 1889 and later received for two successive years the Rotch travelling scholarship. He built the national memorial to McKinley at Canton, the Guggenheim residence at Port Washington, Mrs. Dow’s school at Briar- cliff, a residence and other buildings at Mendham, New Jersey, and the arsenal and school at Indianapolis. Many other buildings and monuments might be mentioned. Magonigle has exhibited paintings at numerous expositions, has pub- lished essays and lectures, and has held office in the leading American societies of art and architecture. Uniface.

Little appears to be recorded concerning his early life or education, but it is known that he won reputation as an architect by his plans for the new theatre at Goeteborg, a building which occupied him for three years. Malmberg made important additions to the church at Oestermalm, involving alterations to the dome and reconstruction of the steeple to admit of the installation of bells for chimes. The alterations were in- geniously contrived and executed, and received high praise. He designed the Hedvig Eleonora church in Stockholm, being appointed court architect and court supervisor in recognition of this work. The medal mentioned below shows the facade of the church.

BELA MALNAI Born 1878 in Budapest, where he received his education in engineering and architecture and where later he established himself, although his activity has not been limited to his native city. Among buildings erected by Malnai may be men- tioned the headquarters for the board of trade at Gyér; and in Budapest, a bank building, numerous apartment houses and private residences, the Hotel Britannia, and several exhibition buildings. He also designed the interior decorations for two theatres, and has been influential through his editorial work on “A Haz,” a monthly publication devoted to archi- tecture and the fine arts. Malnai entered drawings in various competitions, and was awarded gold and silver medals by the Hungarian Society of Engineers and Architects. He was a member of that organization, and also of the Society of Fine Arts in Budapest and of the German “ Werkbund.” Uniface. Head to left. MALNAI BELA Signed in monogram ¥ 0 8 (F. O. Beck). 743 mm.

He was a pupil of Gauthier, the court architect, and was commissioned by Richelieu to erect the church of Val de Grace. Court intrigues interfered before the completion of this edifice, but later Mansart used the same plans on a reduced scale for the chapel of Fresnes. Among his other achievements in ecclesiastical architecture are the churches of the Feuillants, of the Visitation, and the Franciscan, all in Paris. Mansart built the hotel Mazarin, used later for the national library of France, the town halls of Blois and Arles, and many castles and im- posing private residences. He was councillor, inspector of royal edifices, and architect to the king. He designed the form of roof which now bears the name of mansard. 673. Obverse. Bust to left. FRANCOIS MANSART. Signed 1.D.

His family name was Hardouin, but at an early age he assumed that of his mother’s uncle, Francois Mansart, whose pupil he was. He studied also under Libéral Bruaut. Jules Hardouin Mansart built the chateau of Clagny, the cathedral at Blois, the cupola of the Hotel des Invalides, and several churches. The greatest element of interest, however, attaches to his work at Versailles, where he designed the hall of mirrors, the orangery, the stables, and, most important of all, the Grand Trianon commanded by Louis XIV for Madame de Main- tenon. Mansart held the position of architect and engineer to the king, being later appointed superintendent and inspec- tor-general of buildings, gardens, arts, and manufactures. A statue of Louis XIV, following his design, was erected at Lyons. 675. Obverse. Mansart’s coat of arms. Reverse.

CHARLES HENRY MARCELLIS Born 1798 at Antwerp, and died 1864 at Liége. He first chose the study of law and letters, becoming active as writer, lawyer, and publicist. Later Marcellis took a deep interest in the industrial conditions of Belgium, devoting his legal and literary talents to their betterment, also studying architecture and engineering with this end in view. In 1846 the iron 114 [.

Through his intervention, Mazois obtained permission to make drawings of the Pompeian ruins, a privilege previously limited strictly to members of the Neapolitan academy. He remained for three years at Naples in the service of the king, who commissioned him to construct a palace, but also allowed him leisure for that archeological Lis 685. 686. 687. 688. 689. research which was reflected later in the four volumes, ““Ruines de Pompei.” While in Italy he designed the church and convent of S.

After receiving his A.B. degree from Amherst College in 1867 he began the study of architecture under Randolph Sturgis, and later spent several years in European travel. In 1879 he formed a partnershi with Charles F. McKim, organizing the firm of which Stanford White later became the third member. Some of the most important buildings erected by the partners are mentioned in the biography of McKim, to which may be added the follow. ing structures in New York City: the Herald, Tiffany, and Gorham buildings, Bellevue Hospital, and the Pennsylvania terminal station. There is an interesting caricature by St. Gaudens representing Mead as struggling to fly two kites labelled respectively McKim and White, these pulling in opposite directions; yet on the whole the partners worked in such close collaboration that it is often impossible to ascribe single structures to any individual member of the firm. Mead received many honors and distinctions both from his own country and abroad; in 1902 he was granted the degree of LL.D. from his alma mater, Amherst, being made Doctor of Arts by the University of Pennsylvania in 1921 and in that same year decorated with the order of the Crown of Italy. He was active as president of the American Academy in Rome, and in this country as fellow of the American Institute of Architects. His architectural work is not limited to New York City, but includes important buildings in Washington, Providence, and Montreal. Uniface. Bust to left.

His elementary studies at the atheneum in Maestricht were followed by a course at the university of Liége, where his ability in engineering led to an appointment at the military academy in Bréda. A year later, in 1830, when political struggles resulted in the separation of Belgium from Holland, Meyers, whose sympathies were with Belgium, found himself in the enemy’s camp. Obtaining honorable dismissal from the Dutch army and volunteering as a soldier on the other side, he found himself among the first troops sent to besiege his native town. Rapidly he rose to the position of captain and eventually to that of chief commandant in the engineering corps, receiving the order of Léopold for his brilliant work in the fortifying of Diest. More famous as a soldier, engineer, and archeologist than in design or actual construction, he was nevertheless well versed in architecture, as is indicated by his technical writings on the subject and by the prize awz arded to him in competition for the best plan of the proposed ca- serne du Petit Chateau, mentioned on the medal described in this work. An honored member of many learned societies in his native land, Meyers was also the recipient of numerous distinctions from other countries. Obverse.

Heads of the Montgolfier brothers jugate to left JOSE - JEHAN MONE It is known that he was born at Metz in Lorraine, though no records are to be found establishing the dates of his birth and death. He was active at Antwerp during the period of Diirer’s travels through Belgium and Flanders, Mone’s achieve- ments being referred to several times about 1521 in the diary and letters of this great Nuremberg master. Pre-eminent as a sculptor, his best-known work took the form of the designing and carving of church altars. In 1533 he executed the magnificent alabaster reredos in renaissance style which adorns the church of St. Martin at Hal; from that city he went to Brussels, where he was occupied for several years with work on the main altar of the cathedral. Jehan Mone was un- questionably one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. He was decorated with the order of the Emperor Charles V. Uniface. Bust to left, with long hair and with a fur collar.

He studied architecture under Soufflot and devoted him- self for a time to that profession. At Faremoutier he built a small church and a factory for his benefactor, M. Reveillon, who supplied him with funds for his experiments in aerostatics and even allowed his beautiful gardens of the faubourg St. Antoine in Paris to be used as a ba . Most of the medals mentioned below commemorate the aeronautic feats of the brothers Montgolfier. They were presented at the court of Louis XVI, Etienne being decorated by that monarch with the cordon of St. Michel, and Joseph receiving an award of a thousand francs. At the same time their father was raised to the nobility. During the reign of terror the brothers were denounced several times to the tribunal, but were always protected through the loyalty of those who worked under them. {1T ETIEN : MONTGOLFIER Below POUR AVOIR RENDU L’AIR NAVIGABLE Signed on truncation N.- GATTEAUX Reverse.

He was educated in that city under van Assche and at the Ecole de St. Luc, where, in 1877, he won of Louvain was followed by an appointment the first prize in architecture. A year of advanced study at the university on the teaching staff there; at the same time Mortier was active as a practising architect. At Lokeren he built a chateau, at Belcele the chapels and dormitories for retired priests, and at Ghent a new diocesan seminary. He was especially suc- cessful in his restoration work, which includes the parish house at Bree, the tower of Sichem, the ancient chateau of the counts of Flanders, and the facades of the cathedral of St. Bavon at Ghent. Mortier was the intimate friend of Cloquet and frequently worked with him, their best-known works in collaboration being the post-offices at Ghent and Ypres. The medal described under the name of Cloquet commemorates the first of these structures, showing the portraits of the associate architects. Mortier has held many positions under the Belgian government, and was decorated with the order of Leopold. Full description of medal will be found under No. 247 (Cloquet). R.F.E. Collection. PLATE 14 CONSTANT MOYAUX Born 1835 at Anzin-lez Valenciennes; died 1911 in Paris. His preliminary education in his native village was supple- mented by a course of study in Paris under Le Bas and Bernard, which led to the award of the grand prix de Rome. Among the early works of Moyaux in Paris may be mentioned the reconstruction of the government auditing offices on the rue Cambon and the restoration of the dome of the Institute. He built a church at Noeux-lez-Mines and designed 710. 711. 712. 713 714. many monuments. A member of the French Institute and officer of the Legion of Honor, Moyaux also filled many public offices in the field of his profession, as inspector-general of civic and national buildings and professor of architec- ture, both at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and at the Ecole Nationale.

His father, Baron von Neher, being interested in engineering and building, the son grew up in a favorable atmosphere. He studied in the architectural schools of Stuttgart and Frankfurt, being also a pupil of Gnauth and of Wallot. His first practical experience was gained in the offices of Blunt- schli und Mylius at Frankfurt, and later this firm sent him to Italy to construct buildings at Turin. In 1881 von Neher returned to Germany and established himself in independent practice, erecting numerous public buildings and private residences at Frankfurt. Later he was called by the invitation of the municipality to collaborate with Franz von Hoven in the construction of the new Frankfurt Rathaus. This building is illustrated on the medal described under von Hoven. Full description of medal will be found under No. 538 (von Hoven). R.F.E. Collection. PLATE 74. EUGENE CHARLES FREDERIC NEPVEU Born 1777 in Paris; died at Versailles in 1861. His architectural education was pursued at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he was a pupil of Peyre, Fontaine, and Percier, these studies being supplemented by extensive travel in Italy. Nepveu’s first work of importance was the inspectorship at Hurtault, which led to his appointment in charge of the pub- lic buildings at Fontainebleau. The greater part of his professional activity was associated with the historic chateaux of France, including Rambouillet, Compiégne, the Grand and the Petit Trianons. Most important of all were the alterations and additions executed at Versailles, under the immediate supervision of Louis Philippe. Without changing the facades of the palace as erected for Louis XIV, Nepveu undertook to enlarge the building, to institute all of the then known im- provements with reference to lighting, ventilation, and sanitation, to restore the theatre, and to add the famous staircase of the ambassadors. In all of these changes he achieved notable success. Uniface. Head to right. CHARLES NEPVEV Above 1853 * Signed ¥.CHABAUD 140 mm. Bronze cast. R..E. Col- lection.

At the outset of his career he collaborated with Ernst von Gotthilf. Together they erected in Vienna the new headquarters for the Bankverein, also buildings for the Anker Insurance Company, the Credit Anstalt, the Mineral Oil Company, and for the Escompte Gesellschaft of lower Austria. Later von Neumann was called to Turkey and Bulgaria, where at least two structures of importance stand in his name, the Vienna Bankverein building at Constantinople and at Sofia the Banque Balcanique. A member of numerous German and Austrian societies of art and architecture, he has been appointed to the position of building councillor in Vienna. Full description of medal will be found under No. 408 (Gotthilf). R.F.E. Collection. PLATE 78 CHARLES NEUTE Born 1846 at Saint Josse-ten-Noode; died 1885 at Brussels. While he was still young his parents moved to Mons, where he was educated until he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. His father had destined him for the profession of civil engineer, but early in life the boy showed a preference for building, and his interest in architecture increased stead- ily. His first work was in engineering, Neute having been appointed by the government to strengthen the fortifications a) 716. wae 718. 720. of Antwerp. This undertaking was so successfully carried out that he was offered a permanent position in similar work, but he preferred to make his way in architecture. He won two prizes in competition for a hospital at Antwerp and for a parish hall at Schaerbeek. In 1872 a group of young Belgians organized the Société Centrale d’Architecture, and founded the monthly periodical, “L’Emulation,” Neute being appointed editor and director. In this work he was most active, serving without recompense and upholding the dignity of architecture as a profession. He organized the first architec- tural exposition held in Belgium, and planned the preparations for the second exposition three years later, but died a short time before the opening. He was admired equally for his humble spirit and for his great ability. . Uniface. Head to left, no inscription. Signed on truncation CH. BRUNIN 400 mm. Bronze cast.

ANDRE ANTOINE EUGENE OUDINE Born 1840 in Paris; died there in 1917. The son of Eugéne Oudiné, well known as a sculptor, he studied with his father before entering the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Later he specialized in perspective and architecture as a pupil of Constant- Dufeux, eminent professor and architect of the Pantheon. In 1870 the French Institute gave the Achille Leclére prize to Oudiné, who also won other competitive awards. He built a hotel at Passy and the college at Huy. Officer of academy and of public instruction, he was appointed inspector of public works for the city of Paris and architect-in-charge of the buildings of the Sorbonne. Portrait medallion of A. A.

The greater part of his short life was spent in Ghent, where he studied under Roelandts, with whom he later collaborated and whose daughter he married. Both as a student and as a young archi- tect, van Overstraeten gave promise of a brilliant career, but he died suddenly, a victim of the cholera epidemic which ravaged Belgium in 1849. He drew the plans for the restoration of the chateau of the Count of Flanders and for several churches, including those of Lokeren and Middelkerke, but the edifice with which his name will remain associated is the church of Ste. Marie at Schaerbeek, depicted on the medal referred to below. A national competition resulted in the unanimous choice of the plans presented by van Overstraeten. His use of the Byzantine style was an innovation which aroused both admiration and criticism, and greatly influenced Cluysenaar, through whom Byzantine architecture was carried to other parts of the Netherlands. Van Overstraeten had collected material for a treatise on the different styles of ecclesiastical architecture, one volume of this ““Architectonographie” being published posthumously. Obverse.

He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he was a pupil of Huyot, Le Bas, and Hubert, and where he distinguished himself by winning many medals and prizes, including the grand prix de Rome. Returning to France after study in Italy, Paccard was commissioned to undertake some most important reconstruction work at Fontainebleau: transforming the galerie de Diane into a library, restoring the facades on the side of the oval court, the chapel of St. Saturnin, the Louis XIII apartments, and the galerie des Cerfs, as well as several entrances and stair- cases which were beginning to fall into ruins. At the chateau of Pau, Paccard restored the tower of Gaston Phoebus, and at Eaux-Bonnes he erected government buildings. Appointed architect of the chateaux of Fontainebleau and Rambouillet and inspector of works for the Louvre and the Tuileries, Paccard served as a member of the municipal council on public buildings, being at the same time professor and chief of atelier at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

His professional studies were completed at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was a pupil of Lagardette and where the grand prix was awarded to him in 1803. Returning to his na- tive city, where most of his important work was subsequently executed, Pagot soon rose to prominence as one of the 124 732. 733. 734. 735. 736. 737. leading architects. He designed and supervised the restoration of the cathedral in Orleans, also constructing there a church, a library, and an insane asylum. Among the works executed by him directly for the municipality may be men- tioned the corn exchange, which is shown on one of the medals described below; also two abattoirs, the larger being shown on another medal; his reconstruction of the town hall at Orleans is also worthy of notice. Two of Pagot’s works out- side of that city deserve mention: his successful restoration of the cathedral at Bourges and the hospice which he erected at Gien. He was professor of architecture in Orleans, and one of the founders of the Société centrale des Architectes Francais. Obverse. Head of Louis XVIII to right. LOUIS XVIII ROI DE FRANCE ET DE NAVAR.

PLATE 93 ANDREA PALLADIO Born 1518 at Vicenza; died 1580 at Venice. Palladio began his career as a sculptor, but soon devoted himself exclusively to building, becoming eminent as an architect through his adaptation of classic principles to the conditions of his time and country. His earlier works, all located in his native city, comprise the Barbarano and Tiene palazzi, the Olympic thea- tre, and three arcades for the Sala della Ragione. He completed the castello of Udine, which had been begun by Fontana, who is generally regarded as having been Palladio’s master in architecture. In Venice and its vicinity are numerous Palladian edifices, including the church of S. Giorgio Maggiore and an atrium for the monastery della Carita. Called to Padua, he built the palazzo Aldrighelli, while at Brescia both the cathedral and the governor’s palace are associated with his name. In all of his work Palladio took a firm stand against the sacrifice of interior convenience to exterior effect. Among his published treatises may be mentioned “Le Antichita di Roma” and “I quattro libri dell’ Architettura.”” The influence of Palladio is still clearly felt through the works of Inigo Jones, Sir Christopher Wren, and others who adhere to the classic spirit in building.

WILLIAM FRANCKLYN PARIS Born 1871 in New York City. He studied at New York University and later in Europe. Upon his return to America, he became associated as partner with F. J. Wiley, and this firm executed architectural decorations for many public and private structures. Among these may be mentioned the new Sherry Building in New York, the public library in Detroit, the Missouri State Capitol at Jefferson City, and numerous university buildings. Paris was the United States Commis- sioner of decorative art at the Exposition Universelle in 1900, and in 1923 was secretary to the municipal commission for the exposition in Rome. He is a member of the Architectural League of America, of the Société des Gens de Lettres de France, and an honorary director of the French Museum. He has published a book, “Decorative Elements in Architec- ture,” and has been a frequent contributor to the best periodicals of his country. Uniface.

Unfortunately no records appear to be avail- able establishing the actual place or date of his birth, but it is known that Leicester was the centre of his professional activity as an architect, and that he died near there, at Thurnby, prior to 1861.

PLATE 89 HENRY LOUIS FRANCOIS PARTOES Born 1790 in Brussels, where he died in 1843. Little seems to be known concerning his early life, except that he probably remained in his native city, where he was educated and w here the greater number of his architectural works are to be found. His first building of importance, one which occupied him for two years, was a large asylum and home for incurables, both men and women. The building won high praise for the young architect, leading him to specialize in this line of con- struction. Among other large and well-known buildings erected by Partoés, are the hospital of St. Jean at Brussels and an asylum which he was called to construct at Pacheco, probably the town of that name in southern Spain. He was appointed a member of the national commission on historical monuments and decorated with the order of Leopold. Obverse. Bira’s-eye view of the home for the aged. Reverse.

He studied under Questel and Gilbert and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, receiving numerous prizes and honors prior to that of the grand prix awarded to him in 1866. At Bordeaux he erected university buildings for the department of medicine, and in Paris designed additions to the Bibliothéque Nationale, drew the plans for the church of the Sacré Coeur, and transformed the salle Ventadour into the present building of the banque de France. Pascal designed many monuments; one to Michelet, another to Henry Regnault; also in collaboration with Coquart, one to Degeorge, and in collaboration with Thomas, one to Garnier. In 1899 a competition was instituted, open to all the architects in the world, inviting them to submit drawings for the grounds and buildings of the University of Cali- fornia, Pascal being the French representative on the international jury of award. A member of the Salon jury, mem- ber of the jury of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, as well as one of its professors, he was also inspector-general of civic buildings. Uniface. Head to right. L.

For ten years he had charge of the famous Chatsworth gardens on the estate of the Duke of Devonshire, building there the arboretum and the large conservatory which served as models for his later structures. His most noted achievement was the international exhibition building erected at Hyde Park, London, in 1851, and reconstructed three years later on an enlarged scale at Sydenham, where it remains. This building, the famous Crystal Palace, and the one erected for the international exhibition both appear on many of the medals described below. In recognition of his great work, Paxton was knighted; later he was elected to Parliament. He published a number of books, which, however, dea’ mainly with horticulture. Obverse.

PLATE 84 HENDRIK van PEEDE Few details are to be found concerning the life and career of this Flemish architect, which is the more surprising by vir- tue of the fact that he designed and erected one of the most beautiful buildings in all the Netherlands. The town hall, on the Grande Place of Audenarde, was in the process of construction for a full decade, 1525-1535, under Hendrik van Peede, also known as Henri van Pé. The building, which has stood for nearly four centuries as an unusually fine example of late gothic, is shown on the medal described in this work. While revealing the influence of the town hall of Brussels, it also gives proof of striking originality. The belfry-tower, resembling in miniature the destroyed tower of Arras, is crowned by the golden figure of a man-at-arms. Several churches at Audenarde are associated with the name of Hendrik van Peede, and it is generally supposed that he was a native of that city. 778. Obverse. The town hall, Audenarde.

PLATE 87 TIBALDI PELLEGRINO Born 1527 at Bologna; died 1600 in Milan. Little is known about his early life and education, except that he studied painting in his native city before going to Rome, where he spent three years and where he was greatly influenced by Michelangelo. Pellegrino painted many allegorical and historical frescoes, notably at Bologna and Rome, before turning his attention seriously to architecture; but when called to Milan by Cardinal Carlo Borromeo, he entered upon the more mature phase of his career, in which most of his efforts were devoted to ecclesiastical construction. Beginning with ad- ditions to the archbishop’s palace, Pellegrino was later commissioned to draw plans for the churches of S. Lorenzo, S. Protasio, and S. Fedele, as also to build chapels for the orders of the Jesuits and the Serviti. Appointed architect of the Milan cathedral, he designed for that edifice the facade depicted on the medal described below. 780. Obverse. View of the Milan cathedral.

Son of the architect Robert Penchaud, he studied first with his father, later under Fontaine and Percier at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Appointed director of public works at Marseilles, he built there the chapel Dieudonné, a large hospital, a Protestant church, the police barracks, and a jail, designing also the main entrance to the Royal college, a fountain in one of the principal squares, and the triumphal arch for the entry of the Dauphin into that city. Penchaud erected the law courts and a Protestant church at Draguignan; law courts and a prison at Aix; a church and barracks at St. Remy. He received the gold medal of the French Institute. 131 781.

CHARLES PERCIER Born 1764 in Paris, where he died in 1838. Of humble birth, his education was desultory until he entered the school of Peyre, architect to Louis XVI. Later he studied under Gisors, and in 1786 received the grand prix de Rome. In Italy he found Fontaine, a former fellow student, with whom he made an alliance which lasted over half a century. While in Rome he also made the acquaintance of Canova, then at the height of his popularity, who interested himself in Percier and secured for him commissions enabling the young architect to spend another year in Italy. Upon his return to Paris he lived and collaborated with Fontaine; together they designed furniture in their days of dire poverty, together they erected buildings and wrote books. Among their works attesting the versatility of their talents may be mentioned ad- ditions to the Tuileries, to the Louvre, Versailles, Malmaison, and Compiégne. Percier was professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and a member of the Institute. Uniface. Head to right. CHARLES PERCIER Signed DAVID 1835 (David d’ Angers) (all lettering incised). 167 mm.

In early life his strong bent was for mathematics, but later he devoted himself to the study of anatomy and received his medical degree from the university of Paris. At the request of Colbert, minister of finance to Louis XIV, Perrault translated the ten volumes of Vitruvius on engineering and building, which work led to a further study of architecture. Two great monuments in Paris are lasting tributes to his ability: the colonnade of the Louvre, facing the church of St. Germain l’Auxerrois, and the great observatory. This latter building, Perrault’s greatest architectural achievement, called into play his knowledge of mathematics and astronomy as well as of architecture. Through his whole career he kept up his interest in the natural sciences. It is generally supposed that he met his death as a result of dissecting the body of a camel. He wrote several treatises on architectural subjects, was a member of the Academy of sciences and of the Royal Academy of architecture. . Uniface. Bust to right with long hair and lace collar.

After the usual elementary education in his native town, he proceeded to the Polytechnicum in Vienna for study in the advanced branches, and later gained his practical experience under Ferstel, with whom he was associated for five years. He was also a pupil of the Austrian architect Hasenauer. Peschl has erected many private residences in and near Vienna, and during his later life has specialized to some extent in ecclesiastical and educational buildings, having been called to many parts of Austria and Hungary for the construc- tion of schools and churches. Appointed architect to the municipality of Vienna and because of his linguistic ability chosen secretary of the international association of architects, he was also the recipient of numerous honors and distinc- tions from many lands.

He attended the Realschule of his native city and later the Polytechnicum, being a pupil of Koenig and Ferstl. Following these courses of study he registered at the academy for specialized work under Friedrich von Schmidt, the eminent architect of the Stephansdom, but before establishing himself independently Petschacher gained valuable experience as first assistant in the atelier of the architect Romano. In 1873 he moved to Budapest, where he spent several years in municipal service connected with laying out the city streets. Among buildings later erected by him in Budapest are the palace on the Rondeau, the casino belonging to the sixth and seventh districts, headquarters for the Hungarian Credit-Bank, residences for several Hungarian nobles, and numerous private homes. Petschacher later erected several factories for the government and a normal school building; he also restored the Gmiin- denerschloss for the Archduke Johann. Obverse. Bust to right.

A pupil of Vanvitelli, he constructed many public buildings in Milan, erecting there the palazzo Bura, restoring the palazzo Reale, which had been built originally by San Gallo, designing the facade for the palazzo Belgiosco, and an almshouse on the piazza del Tagliamento. Also in Milan Piermarini erected the Scala theatre referred 933 791. 792. 793. to on the medal described below. At Monza he built the mont-de-piété and an imperial villa.

After his preliminary education he studied under Pascal and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, receiving six first-class medals and a scholarship, followed in 1896 by the grand prix de Rome. In the mean- time the ability of Pille had won recognition in the form of various other medals and the Jean Leclaire and Abel Blouet prizes. He left a record of earnest endeavor, which promised much for future accomplishment had not his career been cut short in his thirty-second year. Uniface. Bust to left.

He first worked under Greek masters, executing designs for the duomo of his native city and for the chapel of S. Giovanni. Niccolo established a reputation as a sculptor, spending six years on the marble figures for a mausoleum at Bologna, a work of great originality and merit. His earliest work of architec- tural importance was the church of S. Trinita at Florence, followed by that of S. Marguerita at Cortona, the reconstruction of S. Domenico at Arezzo, and the beautiful church of S. Michele at Borgo. His masterpieces, however, were executed at Pisa, notably the campanile with its original staircase and the famous pulpit in the baptistery, the latter copied by his son and pupils in the cathedral at Siena. In 1267 Niccolo went to Viterbo, having been called there by Pope Clement VI for the purpose of restoring numerous ecclesiastical edifices. Later he proceeded to Naples at the invitation of King Charles of Anjou who, after his victory at Tagliacozzo, vowed to erect a magnificent abbey wherein should be buried the soldiers who had perished in the battle. King Charles was so impressed with the work of the Pisan architect that he heaped upon him every conceivable honor. Obverse. The cathedral of Siena. DUOMO DI SIENA Signed J. WIENER F. Reverse.

In his youth he was interested in etching, landscape gardening, and painting, but later devoted himself principally to architecture. His buildings combine the practical and esthetic elements of the Italian villa, repeating its note of simplicity through a great variety of structures. Platt was the architect of the “News-Leader” and Hanna buildings in Cleveland; the Astor House building, Fifth Avenue-Astor building, and Astor Court apartments in New York; and many important private residences in these cities, as well as in Boston, Detroit, and Chicago. In de- signing the Freer Gallery in Washington, he had the unusual opportunity of planning a building “to house a single col- lection and to express a particular idea.” Platt has received many medals and prizes; is a member of numerous societies of art and architecture, and a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. 134 794.

The son of a prominent master-builder, Poelaert enjoyed the benefit of an excellent education and grew up in a favorable atmosphere. The city of Brussels having set aside a square to bear the name and receive a bronze statue of its first burgomaster, Jean Rouppe, plans were called for in competition, and those of Poelaert chosen by the jury. Before turning definitely to building and becoming, as the “Biographie Nationale” has characterized him, “one of the most eminent and prolific of Belgian architects,” Poelaert designed another monument, the famous Colonne du Congrés in Brussels, one which ranks with the Vendéme and July monuments in Paris. This column won for him his appointment as official architect to the municipality. In this capacity he was commissioned to reconstruct the university buildings and to erect in the suburbs, at Laeken, the large and beautiful church portrayed on the medal described below; but his work of outstanding importance is the Brussels court-house, he having been called upon to prepare plans after those submitted by twenty-eight other architects had failed to satisfy the jury. The first stone was laid in 1866, though the building was not completed until four years after Poelaert’s death. 796. Obverse. Head of Queen Louise to right.

MORIC POGANY Born at Nagy Enyed in 1880. He studied engineering and architecture at Klausenburg. One of his earliest achievements was gaining the competitive prize for the Hungarian national theatre in Budapest, accompanied by the commission to execute. Also in Budapest he designed a building for the Adria society, several monuments, a crematorium, and numer- ous public edifices. Pogdny erected the Hungarian building for the international exposition in Turin, git, and re- ceived the first prize for the Austro-Hungarian bank in Vienna. A frequent contributor to periodicals dealing with art and architecture, he is publishing a work on theatre buildings. He has received various gold medals, including that of the society of Hungarian architects, and is a knight of the orders of Francis Joseph and of the Crown. 799. Obverse. Head to right.

After having studied at the academy of his native city, Poletti went to Bo- logna to pursue his education in engineering and arc hitecture. In 1814 he returned to Modena, having been appointed tant instructor in mechanics and hydraulics at the university; there his work was rewarded by a scholarship which enabled him to go to Rome for advanced study. He entered the academy of S. Luca, and gave immediate proof of his ability by executing for Castelmadama one of the earliest designs for a suspension bridge. Later he specialized in theatre construction, striving to combine the severely classic with modern requirements of lighting and acoustics. Poletti built the cathedral at Montalto, the palazzo Saladini at Ascoli, and a church at Noscera, making additions to the hospice of S. Michele and to the museum of the Lateran; but his work of outstanding importance was the restoration of the basilica of S, Paolo, this being commemorated on the medals described below. He published numerous treatises dealing with the technical details of building and with the history and theory of architecture. Obverse. Bust of Pius IX to left.

There he entered upon a successful career, and designed important buildings, such as the national museum, the Ludoviceum, and the academy, also a castle for the Archduke Joseph near Alcsuth. In Budapest Pollak erected the Redout building, an evangelical church, a town hall for the quarter of Pest-Pils, and many private residences.

De Pomis retained this position for seven years, going eventually from Innsbruck to Graz, where all of his later work was accomplished. There he was active as building councillor and as engineer of several fortresses; there he painted the votive tablet in the cathedral, as well as many other paintings, frescoes, and miniatures. He erected the mausoleum of the Archduke Ferdinand, a work which occupied him during many years. Obverse.

GEORGE BROWN POST Born 1837 in New York City; died there in 1913. He studied in the scientific school of New York University and under Richard M. Hunt. In New York he erected buildings for the Equitable Life Assurance Society, for the Produce Exchange, Cotton Exchange, Stock Exchange, New York Hospital, College of the City of New York; also the St. Paul Building and 136 the residence of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Post was the architect of the Long Island Historical Society building in Brooklyn, of the Prudential Building in Newark, of banks at Troy and Pittsburgh, and of buildings for the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. A member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, of the National Arts Club, of the Fine Arts Federation, he was also a Fellow of the Architectural League and of the American Institute of Architects. 804.

He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, being a pupil of Jean Camille Formigé, who designed the architectural work on many of the bri idges and viaducts in Paris. Formigé exerted a strong influence upon Poussin, who became a municipal inspector. He built also the Ecole Roussel in Paris, the Ecole Lepeletier at St. Fargeau, and the large prison at Fresnes-les- Rungis, the last men- tioned shown on the medal described below. 806.

PLATE 98 JOSE NUNES pet PRADO Little appears to be recorded concert ning the early life of this architect, who was active in his native city of La Paz, Bo- livia, about the middle of the nineteenth century. He was a builder and designer, and there is reason to think that he was also professor of architecture. The high esteem in which he was held by the government and by his country is easily deduced from the inscriptions on various medals struck to celebrate the completion of the commemorative foun- tain designed by Nunes del Prado, and erected 1853 in the public square of La Paz. 808.

Prinsep belonged to a family prominent in the civil service in India, authorities also in the archeological lore of that country. His great desire was to be an architect, and he began his studies to this end under Auguste Pugin, but an injury to his eyesight obliged him to abandon this profession, and he obtained the position of assistant assay master at the Calcutta mint. Later he was appointed chief of assay at Benares, in which city his most important work was accomplished. Finding a new mint under construction, Prinsep obtained per- mission to complete the building on an improved plan, and designed other edifices, notably an Anglican church. Also at Benares he constructed a tunnel from the Ganges and built a bridge across the river Karamnasa. Called to Calcutta for similar work, he completed a canal connecting the river Hoogly with the Sunderbunds, and brought about other improve- ments in sanitation. Eminent as an archeologist and an expert in Hindustani inscriptions, he was a Fellow of the Royal Society and an honorary member of many foreign Academies. A memorial to him was erected at Calcutta in the form of a landing-place with a building for the accommodation of travellers, the whole bearing the name of Prinsep’s Ghat. 810a. Obverse.

After pursuing his education in southern France he travelled in Italy, spending some time in Florence; thence he went to Rome, where he became a pupil and follower of Cortona in both archi- tecture and painting. Called to Paris by Fouquet and later to Toulon, Puget returned each time to Italy for lengthy so- journs, but finally established himself in Marseilles and devoted the latter part of his life to work in his native city. There he designed the town hall, the church de la Charité, the fish market, his own home, and other private houses, while to him may also be credited the strikingly beautiful facades of several palatial residences on the rue du Cours.

ANTOINE CHRYSOSTOME QUATREMERE Born 1755 in Paris, where he died in 1849. Member of a prominent and learned family, he adopted the name of “de Quincy” from the little village in which his childhood was spent, and this sobriquet soon passed into general use as a means of distinguishing him among many eminent bearers of the name Quatremére. At the age of ten he was well versed in archeology and ancient history, and declared his intention to be a sculptor, an ambition not encouraged by his father, who had destined him for the law. Soon after the death of his mother he went to Italy to study sculpture and architec- ture. In Rome he met Canova, forming with him that close alliance which resulted later in the well-known correspondence concerning the Elgin marbles. It is of interest to note that there exist letters of Quatremére de Quincy which were written from London, whither he had gone to study English architecture, and hopeful of being able to reform the then decadent French taste. Upon his return to France, his influence along these lines was beginning to make itself felt when the propa- ganda of the revolution drove all before it, and Quatremére, as a pronounced Royalist, found himself in disfavor and in danger. He thereupon went into retirement and occupied himself with literary work, his books being published later, after the return of the Bourbon kings, who showered upon him honors and distinctions. Among his numerous scholarly works of reference should be mentioned his “Dictionnaire historique d’Architecture,” “L’Architecture égyptienne,” and the most famous of all, “Vie et Ouvrages des plus célébres Architectes.”” Uniface.

After studying for a short time with his uncle, Dominique Bourla, Renard became a pupil of the most eminent architects of that day in Paris, Percier and Fontaine. Within a year after the comple- tion of his studies, he was recalled to Tournai and appointed to the dual position of municipal architect and professor at the academy. His activity divides itself into two distinct periods, the first marked by allegiance to classic standards, the second by acceptance of medieval principles. The beautiful Gothic cathedral at Tournai was largely responsible for this change, and Renard threw himself with enthusiasm into the work of its restoration along the original lines. Although his most important service was rendered as professor and publicist, many buildings proclaim his skill as architect, among these the chateau des Chartreux at Cherq and a concert-hall at Tournai. Renard was a member of many foreign societies and of the Academies of Holland and Belgium. Obverse. Head to left. A B. RENARD PROFESSEUR ET ARCHITECTE DE 1807 A 1857. Signed WIENER F.

PLATE III SIR JOHN RENNIE Born 1761 at Phantassie in Scotland; died 1821 in London, and was buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral. After study at Pres- tonkirk, Dunbar, and Edinburgh, he travelled throughout England and visited James Watt, just then engaged in manu- facturing machinery at Soho in Staffordshire. Through him Rennie was offered a position in charge of large flour-mills at Blackfriars for which Bolton and Watt were constructing a steam-engine. Rennie made several inventions for these mills, using iron instead of wood, and instituting notable improvements. Among dockyards constructed or remodelled by him may be mentioned those at Hull, Chatham, and Sheerness, the latter shown on a medal described below, also the London and East India docks on the Thames. He attained an enviable reputation as a builder of bridges, being the first to succeed in laying a flat roadbed, and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1798. The “Dictionary of National Biography” states that his later efforts show him to have been a skilful architect, endowed with a keen sense of beauty in design, to which was added practical technique of the highest order. Three large bridges in London are lasting monu- ments to his ability, many of his works being shown or mentioned on the medals struck in his honor.

As a boy he showed a pronounced taste for drawing and architec- ture, and his education was directed consistently along these lines. Having entered a design for a church which proved successful in a government competition, he settled at Birmingham and established himself as an architect. In that city he built numerous churches and chapels, notably St. Peter’s, which was dedicated in 1827 and which is depicted on the zed in ecclesiastical architecture, as is shown by medal described in this work. During many years Rickman specia beautiful gothic edifices at Bristol, Preston, Carlisle, and Hampton. Later he erected private residences in Birmingham and vicinity, and several buildings for St. John’s College at Cambridge.

He studied architecture under his father and engineering under Domenico Fontana. Commissioned by Sixtus V to design a small church for the town of Montalto, birthplace of the pontiff, Rinaldi presented a plan which received high praise, whereupon he admitted that the drawings had been made by one of his pupils. Sixtus V pardoned the deception and entrusted him with work on many important ecclesiastical edifices. Among those in Rome may be mentioned a chapel in St. John Lateran, the churches of S. Agnes, S. Maria Campitelli, and S. Andrea della Valle, and the Jesuit monastery. Outside of Rome he built the Jesuit college and several churches at Bologna, the palazzo Verospi in Corsica, and the church of the Scalzi at Caprarola.

Romain was called to Paris by Louis XIV for the purpose of completing the Pont Royal, later was made inspector of roads and bridges, and subsequently appointed architect of royal buildings to the court of France. 838.

GIULIO ROMANO Born 1493 in Rome; died 1546 at Mantua. A favorite pupil and one of the heirs of Raphael, Giulio Pippi, later known as Romano, was entrusted with the completion of many of the Vatican decorations after the great artist’s death. In Rome he completed the villa Madama w hich had been begun by Raphael; designing the casino Lante, the palazzi Cicciaporci, Maccarani, and others. His frescoes in S. Maria della Navicella, the Farnese palace, and in SS. Trinita dei Monte in Rome are well known. After 1542 his activities centred in Mantua, where he altered the plan of the city, building walls to pro- tect it from inundations of the Po and the Mincio, and adding fortresses. Also in Mantua he designed the palazzo del Te with its famous mural paintings of Olympic deities, planned the new facade of S. Pedrone, built his own residence, and served as inspector-general of public buildings. Romano was appointed architect of St. Peter’s in Rome, but died before assuming the duties of that office. 839.

The greater part of his life was spent in the French capital, where he became eminent as designer and craftsman in various forms of interior decorations and decorative art, including furniture, jewelry, book-bindings, memorial windows, china, and silver. He was active on a committee organized for the purpose of improving and developing Gobelins tapestries. Rossigneux was one of the founders of the Union centrale des Arts déco- ratifs, and at one time served as its vice-president.

ALFRED AUGUSTE ROUSSEAU Born 1841 at Montlhéry in the département of Seine-et-Oise; died in 1880. Rousseau studied in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and under Jean Baptiste Guénepin, passing his examinations in 1864 with the grade of first class. Little is known about his comparatively brief career except that he was appointed an inspector of buildings to the municipality of Paris, and that he devoted the greater part of his time to the duties of this position.

PLATE 94 ARMAND LOUIS ADOLPHE ROUSSEL Born 1834 at Louvain, and died 1889 in Brussels. He was the son of Armand Adolphe Roussel, who was eminent as lawyer, publicist, and professor in both Louvain and Brussels. At the Académie des Beaux-Arts in this latter city Roussel studied architecture after having read law with his father. The combination of these two interests is evident through- out his whole career, for he specialized as a legal consulting expert in matters of contract and construction. In collabora- tion with de Gronckel he inspected and reported upon the plans for reconstruction proposed by the city of Hal. Roussel was a competent draughtsman and designer, and at least one building is known to have been erected by him, the mint at St. Gilles-lez-Bruxelles, the facade of which is shown on the medal described below.

His architectural activity was confined almost wholly to Paris, where he designed many schools, factories, and private residences. The department of public works having instituted competitions inviting plans for two fire-department buildings, one in the rue Chaligny and one on the boulevard Diderot, Roussi received the award in each case with a com- mission to execute the work. He was consulting expert to the Seine commission, had a seat on the jury of award at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and was a founder of the Société des Architectes diplémés par le Gouvernement. Uniface.

Schoy in his work, “L’Influence italienne sur l’Architecture dans les Pays Bas,” has written exhaustively concerning the activity of Rubens as an architect, and in proof of his eminence in this profession 145 848. 849. 850. 851. 852. 853. 854. 855. 856. discusses the book, “Palazzi di Genova da Pietro Paolo Rubens,” which contains technical architectural analyses of the most famous Genoese palaces. The structural accuracy of the buildings which appear in Rubens’s paintings is also worthy of note. He exercised a potent influence upon the architectural development of his country, as evinced by buildings in Antwerp and throughout Flanders. Rubens was appointed court painter to Archduke Albert of Brussels, was knighted by Charles I of England, and again by Philip IV of Portugal upon the completion of negotiations establishing a treaty between that country and England.

Having established himself in practice at Frankfurt a/Main, Rummel specialized in the designing of churches, hospitals, and educational institutions. He erected the Bernardus and Gallus churches, the Marienspital, and the Josef and Monica homes. Outside of Frankfurt he built at Mainz a large school with adjoining dormitories, his other important works being located at Urdingen-Krefeld, Langenschwalbach, Neuenhain, Isenburg, and Hagen. He is a member of the leading societies of architects and engineers, both national and local. Uniface. Head to right. HANS RUMMEL Signed on truncation DAUTERT 129 x 94mm. Bronze cast. R.F.E.

His family had produced several gifted stonecutters, and de Ruysbroeck was trained for that vocation. The first mention of his name appears in a list of the municipal councillors of Brussels, he being one of nine representatives of the trades, among the more numerous councillors from the nobility. A series of appointments culminated in a commission from Philip the Good to construct a belfry for the church of St. Michel, where he produced a rarely beautiful tower of stone tracery, which has often been compared with that of Erwin von Steinbach at Strasbourg. The Augustine friars at Louvain became so impressed by the beauty of the work that they requested de Ruysbroeck to build for the church of Ste. Gertrude a belfry which is now found included in the list of the seven wonders of Louvain. In 1459, appointed master of stone-work to the duchy of Brabant, he visited the churches and chateaux of that district, reconstructing work wherever needed. Among his important restorations were the church of Notre Dame at Anderlecht and the ducal chateau at Vilvorde. His last days were spent in an asylum where, aged, blind, and forgotten of his countrymen, he died. During four centuries scarcely a mention is to be found of his name, but in 1880 a bust of de Ruysbroeck, chosen among all Belgian architects, was placed in the great hall of the palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.

The greater part of his life and of his architectural career was centred in that city, where his most important work was the reconstruction of San Marco, an undertaking which occupied him for many years. The medal described below bears upon it his portrait, the facade of the church, and an inscription showing that it was awarded as a token of gratitude by the Venetians. It is dated the year after his death. In addition to his work on San Marco, Saccardo built numerous residences and churches in Venice, and a well-known villa at Mirano. He exhibited many architectural plans and drawings at the exposition of ancient and modern art held 1881 in Venice. 148 872. 873. 874. 875. 876. Obverse. Bust facing.

He studied first under the architect Carducci, who had a high opinion of his pupil’s talent and encouraged him in every way, until the still youthful Sacconi went to Rome to continue his education and training. He spent five years there in successful work, and when, in 1884, a competition was instituted for a national monument to Victor Emanuel, he received the first prize of fifty thousand lire, with the commission to execute the monument. This monument is commemorated on both of the medals here described. Count Sacconi also built a chapel for King Humbert I at Morza, and collaborated on the basilica of Loreto. Obverse.

Educated at the Polytechnicum in Budapest, he also studied with Professor Pecz and gained his practical experience under Steindl in connection with the erection of the new Parliament building. Establishing himself in independent practice, Sandy has had an active career. His work includes the erection of hospitals, churches, banks, schools, private dwellings, warehouses, and the pedestals of important monuments. His most notable structures are to be found in Budapest, but he has designed many buildings throughout Hungary. Among his principal edifices may be mentioned a post-office, club house, and school in Budapest, a school at Békés, a castle at Daruvar, and the post-office at Zagreb. Active as officer or member of all the leading architectural societies of his native country, Sandy has made frequent contributions to the periodical literature of his profession and has published several books.

His father was Giuliano di Giamberti, an eminent architect who received the name of Sangallo in recognition of having built the Augustine monastery at the Porta San Gallo in Florence. The son, Francesco, began his education under his father, later studying and collaborating with Jacopo Tatti, called Sansovino. Sangallo planned and erected numerous monuments and altars, principally in Or S. Michele at Florence, S. Annunziata at Fiesole, and in the monastery of S. Lorenzo.

JACOPO TATTI SANSOVINO Born 1486 in Florence; died 1570 in Venice. He was a sculptor and architect, a pupil of Contucci. In 1505 Sansovino went to Rome, where he became associated with Bramante and where he built the loggia Coscia at the Porta del Popolo, the church of S. Marcello, and the palazzo Nicolini. From Rome he returned to Florence, going in 1529 to Venice, where he was appointed architect-in-charge of public buildings and where he spent the last forty years of his life. There he erected the famous library, the mint, the scuola della Misericordia, several churches, and numerous palatial residences. Sansovino designed the bronze doors of the sacristy of S. Marco, the recumbent statue of the doge Francesco Venieri in the church of S, Salvadore, and the statue of Neptune and Mars on the famous golden staircase in the palace of the Doges. Uniface.

RAFFAELLO SANZIO Born at Urbino in 1483; died in Rome, 1520. The son and pupil of Giovanni Sanzio, he studied also under Perugino, da Vinci, and Michelangelo. Although best known as a painter, his architectural accomplishment includes some of the famous structures of Italy. Raphael was called to Rome in 1508 by Pope Julius II. There he collaborated on the Vati- can, and later succeeded Bramante as chief architect of St. Peter’s; erecting also the Pandolfini palazzo, the Nencini palazzo, and several private residences, including his own. In addition to his architectural work in Rome, Raphael de- signed the Uguccioni palazzo at Florence and the temple of Sposalizio at Milan. By Pope Leo X he was made inspector of excavations and conservator of antiquities, an appointment which led him to compile a voluminous treatise on Roman treasures of art and architecture. As a painter he decorated the stanze in the Vatican, made cartoons for the tapestries of the Sistine chapel, and painted many famous altar-pieces and easel-pictures now in the important old world galleries.

ANTOINE PAUL SELMERSHEIM Born 1840 at Langres in the département of the Haute Marne. Entering the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1863 he studied en- gineering and architecture, making a specialty of construction under E. L. Millet. After a short period of general prac- tice, Selmersheim was appointed diocesan architect for Paris and for Chartres, and from that time most of his activity lay in the direction of ecclesiastical construction. Among his earliest works in this field should be mentioned the resto- ration of the cathedral at Moulins and that of Troyes, in which latter city he also built the church of St. Urbain. Other ecclesiastical edifices erected by him are the church of Ste. Chantal at Dijon, a chapel near that city, and the church of Notre Dame at Epernay. Architect to the government and inspector of historical monuments, Selmersheim has also been active in several architectural societies. Uniface. Bust to right in circle.

At the age of sixteen he went to London, where he became a pupil-ap- prentice to William Burn, in whose office he formed with W. E. Nesfield a friendship which influenced profoundly the careers of both young architects. In 1854 Shaw gained the gold medal and travelling scholarship of the Royal Academy, the committee of which later requested the publication of his drawings, “Architectural Studies from the Continent.” Among characteristic examples of Shaw’s ability may be mentioned the New Zealand chambers, the Alliance building, Baring’s bank, St. Michael’s church, and his finest and most complete work, the famous new Scotland Yard on the Thames embankment. Shaw designed numerous churches, including two at Bournemouth; and many country residences, notably Preen manor house, Adcote in Shropshire, and Cragside in Northumberland. In 1899 a competition was instituted which was open to all the architects of the world, inviting them to submit drawings for the grounds and buildings of the University of California. Shaw served as the representative of England on the international jury of award. Full description of medal will be found under No. 68. (Benard). R.F.E. Collection. PLATE 8 HOWARD SILL Born in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The name of Howard Sill is almost as well known for his avocation as for his vocation; the former being book-plates, the latter architecture. That section of the country in which practically all of his professional work is located is the eastern shore of Maryland. Here is the meeting-place of the influence of the southern states with that of New England, resulting in the erection of many large homes characterized by much com- fort and little ostentation. It will be remembered that the south produced a social class which conserved many of the standards of the English aristocracy, architecture being fostered in common with other arts and refinements. Sill has been influential in his effort to perpetuate colonial details, until recently too generally neglected in modern construction. He has designed residences in Baltimore, Annapolis, and Roland Park, and at Scaleby in Virginia. Sill founded the first Ex-Libris Society in the United States, and held office as vice-president of the Washington chapter of the Bookplate Society. Uniface. Head to right.

The son of a mason named Swan, he changed his name to Soan, then to Soane. In 1772 he won the silver medal at the Royal Academy, and four years later the gold medal for designing a trium- phal arch—a remarkable composition which gained for him the travelling scholarship under George III. In London Soane erected many well-known buildings, notably the new Chelsea hospital, the Dulwich Gallery, Westminster law courts, the library of the House of Commons, also the entrance-gate and lodge of Hyde Park. He drew the plans for the Bank of England, supervising the erection of its western front, shown on the medals described below, and designed St. James’s Palace, Blackfriars bridge, and Norwich castle. In 1809 Soane was appointed professor at the Royal Academy, being knighted in 1831. He wrote many books on architectural subjects. . Obverse. Head to right. JOHN SOANE. Signed w. wyon. A. R.

In this city, almost as famous as Nuremberg for its medieval houses and fortresses, he re- ceived his early education and that enthusiasm for architecture which came to fruition through his course of study at the Technische Hochschule in Munich. Sérgel’s first work of importance consisted in making plans for school buildings at Bamberg, but more recently he has been active in Munich, where he has designed numerous private residences. A mem- ber of the League of German Architects, he has also been influential in encouraging the study of esthetics in the schools. He is well known as an author on subjects connected with architecture and education, his publications including: “Theorie der Baukunst” and “Einheitliche Organisation der Bauschulen.” . Obverse.

CONSTANT SONNEVILLE Born 1849 at Bailleul in northern France. He studied first at the academy of his native town, going later to Lille and thence to Brussels. Almost all of his life has been spent in Belgium, the past thirty-five years at Tournai; with this city he has been closely identified, having had an important share in its architectural and civic development. At Tournai, Sonneville restored numerous monumental buildings, including the cathedral, the churches of St. Nicolas and St. Jean, and the former Grange des Dimes, at one time attached to the abbey. This edifice is portrayed on the medal de- scribed below. Sonneville has executed a series of restorations of notable cathedrals throughout Belgium, and has erected eighteen new churches. His work has been general in scope, including ecclesiastical architecture, chateaux, schools, and private residences. He has received medals and awards from several expositions, as well as civic honors from France and Belgium. . Obverse. Facade of the grange of the Abbaye St. Martin. Legend LA VILLE DE TOURNAI A M.

He studied successively mathematics, ancient languages, phi- losophy, and theology at Altona, Halle, and Jena. Being offered a position as instructor in languages and mathematics at Hamburg, Sonnin established himself there, but spent all his spare moments in experimenting with machines and 160 956. 957. 958. 959. instruments, especially optical. Encouraged by a wealthy patron, he took up the study of engineering and architecture; his first building being a brewery at Altona. In 1750, when the famous Michaeliskirche at Hamburg was destroyed by lightning, the reconstruction was entrusted to two architects, Prey and Sonnin, the latter taking entire charge after the death of the former. In Hamburg, too, Sonnin skilfully raised to a perpendicular position three church towers which had begun to settle in a dangerous manner. He also erected a rotunda at Rellingen, churches at Niendorf, Wilster, Herz- horn, and Kappeln, as well as numerous private residences at Hamburg and Kiel. Obverse.

His father, an eminent lawyer, hoped to see the same profession followed by the son, whose early education was directed to this end. But the desire to become an architect was so strong in young Soufflot that it eventually overcame all obstacles, even though in order to go to Italy to study, the boy ran away from home, took an assumed name, and for some time earned his living as a stonecutter. Remaining for seven years in Rome, he won for himself a reputation which found echo in France. In 1738 the municipality of Lyons extended a call to Soufflot, who quickly became influential in the architectural development of that city. There he made additions to the church of the Chartreux, drew the plans for the city hospital and for the exchange, and reconstructed the archbishop’s alace. His most famous work is the church of Ste. Geneviéve in Paris, for which he was commissioned by Louis XV to draw the original plans. This building, now more generally known as the Pantheon, is depicted on the medal described selow. Soufflot also executed several important additions to the cathedral of Notre Dame, including the sacristy and the restoration of the main entrance. In Paris as in Lyons, Soufflot won high reputation as lecturer, hydraulic engineer, and author. Obverse. Facade of the Pantheon.

The obverses almost invariably show the exterior of the building, and the reverses usually the interior or a ground plan. LOUIS SPAAK There appears to be no authentic record giving particulars as to the birth and death of this Belgian architect, It is es- tablished, however, that he was active in his profession at Brussels about the middle of the nineteenth century; also that in 1842 he won the first prize in competition by his drawings for a new municipal custom house, the funds having been collected by general taxation. The award to Spaak was accompanied by the commission to execute the building. Later he built the parish house at Anderlecht. Both buildings are shown on medals described below. It appears probable that this was the same architect Spaak who in 1811 made measured drawings of the facade, interior, and side elevations of the church of the Jesuits at Brussels, just before its demolition. This view is endorsed by Kramm, who, however, admits the possibility that there may have been two architects, father and son. Obverse.

On the occasion of a visit paid by the crown prince to that city, Sparre designed an arch which so aroused the interest of Baron Harleman that he invited the young architect to become his pupil. Count Sparre established himself in Stockholm, where he was active for a short period, being called to Upsala to supervise the restoration of the castle after the great fire. In 1742 he was appointed superintendent of Swedish national fortifications. He died at an early age and bequeathed his fortune to the Royal Academy of Sciences, of which he had been a member.

He was educated at King’s College in London and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, taking advanced work under Questel. Returning to his native country, Spiers established himself in London, where he erected a number of schools as well as ateliers for artists; these were followed by the construction of private residences and villas at Droitwich, Barnsley, and elsewhere in England. Spiers, who always looked upon France as a second native land, was honored by an appointment to the professorship of architecture at the académie royale. He became equally eminent in archeology and in architecture, having compiled numerous works on both subjects, some in the English language, some in French. Among these may be mentioned: “East and West,” “Le Dessin architectural,” and “Ordres d’Architec- ture.” He was a member of many antiquarian societies and architectural organizations in both countries.

WILLEM SPRINGER It has not been possible to establish the dates of birth and death of this Dutch architect, all of whose works, with one exception, appear to be located in the city of Amsterdam. Certain it is that in 1858 he held the position of assistant to de Greef, with whom he collaborated fifteen years later in the reconstruction of the Stads-Schouwburg. In the meantime Springer had been appointed architect to the government in the department of public buildings, in which capacity he supervised the construction of much important work, notably the Zeevaartschool, an institute for training navigators. He also designed and built, in London, the internationally renowned Frascati restaurant. Full description of medal will be found under No. 479 (de Greef). R.F.E. Collection.

One of three brothers all of whom became architects, Friedrich worked at carpentry and building under his stepfather, J. J. Meyer. After this apprenticeship he went to Munich, remaining for three years as a student at the academy and under Gaertner. Stammann first established himself at Prague, where his home became a centre for artists and architects; but after several years left that city to go to Rome in response to a call addressed to himself and his brother Eduard for work in the Ponte-Molle company under Nerli. After an absence of fourteen years he returned to his native city and was a resident there at the time of the great fire, both he and his older brother, Franz Georg, being active in the reconstruction work which followed that disaster. Independently he erected buildings for Counts Thun and Wallis, and a castle and monument in Kreis Leitmeritz. A leading member of the Kiinstler Verein of Hamburg, he was also influential in founding the art gallery in that city. Uniface. Head to right. FRIEDRICH STAMMANN.

There he erected his greatest architectural work, the Hungarian Parliament building; there also he designed a large theatre, a bank, a veterinary college, and additions to the Technische Hochschule, in which institution he was for many years professor of architecture. Outside of Budapest Steindl built a Franciscan church at Szeged and churches at Kassa, Bartfa, Mariafalva, and Jak. He did much for the welfare of his city through service on numerous boards, commissions, and councils, notably in matters connected with building and education.

His studies pursued at the polytechnicum in Helsingfors were fol- lowed by more advanced and specialized courses in London and by extensive travel through many countries of Europe; later Strengell visited the United States. Since 1911 he has held the position of director and secretary of the national museum of industrial arts. From 1914 to 1918 he was also director of the Finnish art gallery, and in his capacity as art critic has published a number of books, among which may be mentioned a study of Finnish art as exemplified by three painters, a guide to the museum, and the two volumes, “Staden som Konstverk” and “Hemmet som Konstverk.” The former of these, dealing with the city as a work of art, shows the author to be well versed in the principles of building and implies activity on his part in the capacity of architect. This inference is further strengthened by the fact that Strengell was appointed in 1918 to serve on the architectural commission of the Finnish government. Obverse. Bust to right.

Entering the service of the republic of Venice, he aided the patriots of that city in fortifying their island possessions against the Turks.

NIKODEMUS TESSIN Born 1654 at Nykoeping; died 1723 in Stockholm. He studied at the university of Upsala, going thence to Rome, London, and Paris to continue his education in architecture and landscape gardening. In Stockholm he executed the Riksbank, the reconstruction of the city hall, and, his most important work, the northern facade of the King’s palace, which is rep- resented on the first of the medals described below. This building, which was an annex to the existing royal residence, was commenced in 1692 and finished under the supervision of Tessin in record time. A few years later, in 1697, both buildings were destroyed by fire; the restoration, begun by Tessin, was interrupted through lack of funds and not com- pleted until long after his death. Tessin erected several churches, notably that of the Admiralty at Karlskrona and one at Kemgsoers; also the tower of the Vesteras church. Raised to the baronetcy in 1699, he held numerous high positions, including those of court architect, marshal, chief of police, legal councillor to the government, and president of the uni- versity of Lund.

His course of study at the academy of his native city was supplemented by travel in Germany, Austria, and Italy. Upon his return to St. Petersburg, Thon built the church of St. Katherine and a hall for the academy. At the command of Czar Nicholas I he drew plans for the cathedral at Moscow, and in St. Peters- burg erected the new palace of the Kremlin. He built a theatre and the custom-house in Moscow, also railway stations in both capitals. The medal described below was struck in 1865 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of his gradua- tion from the St. Petersburg Academy and his appointment to be its head. In 1882, the year after his death, a public subscription was instituted in Russia for a fund in Thon’s honor, the interest to be expended on gold and silver medals for the best architectural designs in the Russian style. Thon was a corresponding member of the Royal Society of Brit- ish Architects. Obverse. Head to right in wreath. Signed ALEXEJEYF Reverse.

PLATE II4 GIANELLO petta TORRE Born at Cremona, though there appears to be no record as to the date; died at Toledo in 1583. Little is known about his early life or education, and little about the particulars of his engineering and architectural accomplishments, but it is recorded that he was active as engineer and architect in the service of two kings of Spain, Charles V and Philip TH, from 1550 until his death in 1583. Gianello della Torre devoted many years to developing ingenious hydraulic devices for raising the waters of the River Tagus up to the city of Toledo. This engineering feat, a most remarkable one for his century, is commemorated on the medal described below.

DENIS MARIUS TOUDOIRE Born 1852 at Toulon. After his preliminary studies he went to Paris, where he took the full course at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, receiving his diploma in 1883. He was also a pupil of Questel and Pascal. As a young man Toudoire entered numerous designs in competition and won several awards with commi ion to execute, among these being plans for the town hall at Bone and for the Constantine prefecture. Later he specialized in the construction of r lway stations, build- ing one at Bordeaux for the line of the Midi, rebuilding one at Toulouse, and finally erecting in Paris the imposing ter- minus of the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean line, shown on the medal described below. Toudoire also designed two structures for the Exposition Universelle of 1900, these being the building for French manufactures and the headquarters of the republic of San Marino. 168 | 999. Obverse.

Neither the time nor the locality of the birth of Francesco Vespignani is established with absolute certainty, but the date given is approximately correct, and it is probable that his birthplace was Rome, his father being a famous architect in that city. Concerning Francesco comparatively little is known beyond the facts that he studied engineering and architec- ture, that he assisted in the work on the Borgia apartments in the Vatican, and that he collaborated with his father in the restoration of St. John Lateran, which he continued after the death of the latter in 1882.

He also began the restoration of St. John Lateran, completed after his death by his son. Vespignani collaborated in work on the basilica of St. Paul and erected a large exposition building, described by “The Builder,” London, in January, 1870, as “an immense circular saloon . . . in the vast corridor of the cloisters of the bath of Diocletian . . . skylighted all round 171 1012. 1013. 1014. 1015. 1016. 1017. 1018. with compartments to the centre . . . the whole offering a mile of corridor destined for sculpture.” Count Vespignani was appointed municipal architect of Rome and professor at the academy of S. Luca. He received numerous decorations, was honorary member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and was active in many of the learned societies of his native land. Obverse.

He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, being a pupil of Le Bas and Vaudoyer. Most of his life was spent in Paris, where he was active not only as an architect but also in matters relating to municipal and national welfare. Viel served on the health council of Paris and was connected with the prefecture of police as consulting architect, but his reputation rests mainly on the building erected on the Champs Elysées for the industrial exhibit of the Exposition Universelle in 1855, depicted on the medals described below. He was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor, and that of the Spanish order of Charles IIT. 172 1019. Uniface. Head of F. M. V. Viel to left, executed in 1853 by Victor Vilain. 171mm. Bronze.

Even Brault in his com- pendium entitled “Les Architectes par leurs Oeuvres,” makes no record of the specific activities of Vierset-Godin except in the department of architectural writing, stating that he collaborated with Edouard Lav alleye, professor of archeology ory of ed on at the academy of Liége, in the compilation of a monograph concerning the architecture and the ecclesiastical his the church of Notre Dame at Huy.

As stated by both Brault and Charvet, confusion exists even among accredited authorities as to the architectural achievements of Barthélemy and Pierre Vignon, who, though not related, were close contemporaries. Certain it is that to Pierre was entrusted the reconstruction of the Tuileries with a view to housing the sessions of the Convention, this in fulfilment of a decretal of the French Assembly in 1792. He was also appointed architect of the Palais national and commissioned to build a government printing-house. In 1801 Vignon began to erect an opera-house on the site of the former convent of the Filles du Calvaire, and five years later Napoleon accepted his project for the completion of the Madeleine. This marvellous edifice, begun by Constant dIvry and modelled after the Parthenon, was transformed by Napoleon’s order into a temple dedicated to military glory, but in 1816 was restored to its original religious name and purpose. Pierre Vignon is buried in the Madeleine, where a tablet commemorates his name and work. Obverse. Head of Napoleon I to right with laurel wreath. NAPOLEON EMPEREUR ET ROI. Signed J. p.

One of the most gifted men of any age, he excelled in science and engineering no less than in architecture, painting, poetry, and music. Under Verocchio, da Vinci studied drawing, modelling, engineering, and architectural design; at this same studio were his friends Lorenzo di Credi and Perugino. While living at Milan, da Vinci drew plans for the cathedral, and with Alberti made des altar of the Annunziata. His most famous painting, that of the “Last Supper,” is in the r in that city. He built the reservoir of S. Cristoforo, conducted the wate s for the monastery and high tory of S. Maria delle Grazie s of the Adda into Milan, laid out the canal of Mortesana and regulated the courses of the rivers of Lombardy, being architect and engineer to both Valentino and Cesar Borgia. At the invitation of Francis I, da Vinci went to France, where he died at the chateau de Cloux near Am- boise. He left valued architectural drawings comprising plans for the construction of villas, castles, palaces, mausoleums, domes, and churches. One of the medals described below depicts his monument in Milan. Obverse. Bust to left with cap and fur collar. » LEONARDVS « VINCIVS : FLORENTINVS + Signed HERARD F.

He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and was associated with Achille Leclére as pupil and as assistant. In 1839 he travelled through Italy and Sicily, making a study of Roman antiquities. Upon his return to Paris, Viollet le Duc was chosen by Lassus as inspector of works for the Sainte-Chapelle, and was later sent to restore the abbey church at Vézelay. Appointed diocesan architect for five districts, he accomplished a series of restorations of some of the most famous ecclesiastical edifices in France, notably the churches at Amiens, Reims, Car- cassonne, St. Nazaire, Lemur and Montréal. He entered a competition for the reconstruction work on Notre Dame, but the design of Lassus was chosen. Upon the death of the latter, Viollet le Duc was appointed to complete the restora- tion of the great cathedral, the spire which crowns the transept being his work, as is the restoration of the chateau of Pierrefonds, for which he was selected by Napoleon III. Appointed to the chair of architectural history at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, le Duc devoted his later years to the duties of this professorship and to literary work. He compiled an encyclopedia of French architecture, in ten volumes; was a frequent contributor to periodicals; and edited the text of the book begun by Denis and Charnay, entitled “Sur les Cités et les Ruines américaines.” .

The son of an eminent Italian archeologist who established himself in France, Visconti grew up and was educated in Paris, where he was a pupil of Percier and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Appointed sub-inspector of buildings under Destailleur, he later succeeded Delannoy as architect of the Bibliotheque Royale. In Paris he executed the fountains Louvois, Gaillon, Molié: e, and that of the place St. Sulpice; designed the tombs of four marshals of France, all in the cemetery of Pére-la-Chaise; and erected, in the chapel of Les Invalides, the famous monu- ment of Napoleon I. Visconti also built several palatial residences, and after his appointment as court architect to Napoleon III, spent the last years of his life in planning the completion of the Louvre, notably the gallery connecting its main edifice with the Tuileries.

C. in northern Italy. Asa young military engineer he travelled through Gaul, Spain, and Greece, study- ing fortifications and building. He designed the basilica at Fano and the Aides Augusti near Rome, but his reputation rests mainly upon his writings. His series of ten volumes, “De architectura” was dedicated to Augustus and is the only surviving Latin treatise on the subject. This work is mentioned by Pliny, and on it has been based much of the earlier theory of pseudo-classical architecture. Vitruvius also wrote “De re edificatoria.” The renaissance revived an interest in his writings, a number of which were translated and are among the earliest books printed. 176 | 1046. 1047. 1048. 1049.

The son of Virgilio Vittoria, architect and sculptor, he studied first with his father, then under Sansovino and Palladio, assisting the latter in building the basilica at Vicenza. In Venice, Vittoria de- signed the facade of S. Zaccaria, built the school of S. Fantino, now the Ateneo, and the Capella della Rosario. His sculp- tural works, located mainly in Venice, include an altar in the famous church of the Frari, his own monument in S.

Von Voit’s greatest accomplishment was the execution of the new Pinakothek, which he undertook at the command of Ludwig I and in which he won notable success by his system of rzburg, and finally at Munich under Gaertner, with whom he collaborated for many years, succeedin A yy ; eeding lighting. His architectural activities were varied, including numerous churches and synagogues, a market, a prison, a chemical laboratory, a building for the physiological institute, and one for the industrial exposition of 1854, referred to on the medal described below.

PLATE IIg SIMON VOLLANT There appears to be no authoritative record as to the place or date of his birth and death, and little seems to be known concerning his early life or education. Yet the name of Simon Vollant, sometimes written Voland, is associated with several important monumental buildings of the city of Lille, including the concert hall, the general hospital, the court- house, and the hall of archives. It is also established that he erected the Porte de Paris at Lille, commemorated on the medal described below, and that in 1702 he built the Pont Neuf. Vollant rendered valuable services to the municipality in his position of architect to the government. Obverse. The Porte de Paris at Lille. * VILLE DE LILLE * Below PORTE DE PARIS Jn exergue A.

His early studies in his native city were followed by advanced courses in Berlin, where he was a pupil of Haase and of Otzen and where he gained the practical experience which led to his appointment as architect of such important edifices as the Kaiser Wilhelm-Gedachtniskirche in Berlin and the Trini- tatiskirche at Charlottenburg. Collaborating with Jassoy, under whose name the medal showing this building is described, Vollmer had an important share in erecting the Rathaus at Stuttgart, a structure which has received much favorable comment. With this exception and that of a Kurhaus at Sylt, his works lie in the field of ecclesiastical architecture and include, in addition to the churches already mentioned, the Friedenskirche at Heilbronn, the Reinoldikirche at Dort- mund, and the Christuskirche at Meran. Full description of medal will be found under No. 549 (Fassoy). R.F.E. Collection. PLATE 87 FRANCESCO va VOLTERRA Born at Volterra. Died about 1588. His early occupation, that of an inlay worker in wood and ivory, aroused an interest in architecture and led to the choice of that profession. Volterra studied engineering and building in Rome, where later he established himself. He designed the interior of S. Maria in Aquiro, reconstructed the church of S. Tom- maso in Parione, and completed the nave of the church of the Orfanello, drawing the plans for the facade of S. Maria di Monserrato and erecting a papal residence for Sixtus VI. He built part of the church of S. Maria della Scala, designed the church of S. Giacopo degl’ Innocenti, a chapel for Cardinal Salviati, and collaborated on many other ecclesiastical edifices.

PLATE 120 178 JULIUS WAELDER Born 1884 at Steinamanger, his education at the university in Budapest was followed by courses of study at Rome and supplemented by travel. Returning home, he established himself in Budapest, where he erected numerous buildings, and where he was appointed professor of classical architecture. Outside of Budapest, his most important work is to be found at Pressburg, where he erected several university buildings and the museum of West Hungary; he also built a public school at Kisvarda, restored the parish church at Gyéngyés, and has designed museums, churches, and municipal offices in other towns of western and central Hungary. His work, moreover, includes pulpits and altars, and several monu- ments, one of special interest being that in honor of Pope Silvester II, executed for the church of St. John Lateran. Waelder has written a treatise on morphology in Greek and Latin architecture, and has other writings in press. He has held office as president of the architectural section of the society of Hungarian architects and engineers. | 1055. Uniface. Head to right.

PLATE 107 DOMINIQUE ve WAGHEMAEKERE Little is recorded concerning his early life and education; he is known principally as the friend of Rombaut Keldermans, with whom he collaborated for many years. In 1515, when Keldermans was appointed architect to the Belgian court, one of his first acts was to send for de Waghemaekere as his associate. In collaboration they worked on a church at Antwerp and on the Broodhuis at Brussels, also being commissioned by the municipality of Ghent to design a new town hall. This building, begun in 1518, was in work for fifteen years and was then interrupted by civil wars. It was finally completed much later by other architects in a different style. The medal described below the biography of Keldermans shows the perspective of the building. At Antwerp, Keldermans and de Waghemaekere were called upon to rebuild the church of Notre Dame; also in that city they reconstructed the church of St. Jacques and drew plans for the new stock exchange, erected numerous private residences, and built the large prison known as the Steen. With few exceptions, de Waghemaekere had an important share in the work executed by Keldermans. 1056. Full description of medal will be found under No. 617 (Keldermans). R..E. Collection. PLATE 70 OTTO WAGNER Born 1841 at Penzing near Vienna; died in 1918. His education in Austria was supplemented by a course of study in Berlin and by extensive travel. Returning to Vienna, where he established himself, Wagner drew the plans for the Diana baths, the Landerbank, the elevated municipal railway of Vienna, and the entire canalization system of that city. He also erected a synagogue in Budapest. Appointed professor at the academy in Vienna, he was a member of many archi- tectural societies, and as an author was a recognized authority on subjects connected with engineering and building. Among his treatises may be mentioned “Moderne Architektur.” 1057. Uniface. Bust to left.

He studied in Munich and other cities before going to Berlin to complete his education. Wallot entered drawings in many competitions and received numerous awards, in- cluding first prize for the Reichstag building in Berlin, this being accompanied by a commission to execute. On the 179 a ar occasion of the opening of this building, he was appointed privy councillor to the government. In 1899 a competition was instituted, open to all the architects of the world, inviting them to submit plans for the grounds and buildings of the University of California. Wallot was chosen to represent Germany on the international jury of award. He was an honor- ary member of the Academies of St. Petersburg and Rome. 1059.

As junior member of the firm of Giese and Weidner, a partnership established in Dresden in 1872, Weidner had a share in all the structures designed by the firm, though there is little record of inde- pendent accomplishment. In addition to the buildings referred to in the biography of Ernst Giese, mention should be made of the Petrikirche in Leipzig, of the Reichstagsgebaude in Berlin, and of the first prize received for plans entered in competition for a town hall at Hamburg. Weidner at one time held the office of royal building councillor to the Saxon court. 1060. Full description of medal will be found under No. 450 (Giese). R.F.E. Collection. PLATE 74 EDWARD WELCH Born at Overton in Flintshire, 1806; died in London, 1868. Little seems to be known of his early life, before the period of his collaboration with Joseph Hansom. Their most important work in partnership was the Birmingham town hall, the building depicted on the medals described under the biography of the senior architect. They designed also a dispen- sary at York, the Bulkeley Arms Hotel at Beaumaris and the county jail in the same place. After the dissolution of partnership, Welch established himself independently, erecting the Northern Hospital in Liverpool, several churches in that vicinity, and the Monks’ Ferry Hotel at Birkenhead. In his later years, he became interested in new methods of heating and ventilation, patenting stoves which were installed in some of the municipal offices at St. Pancras and in buildings which he himself designed. 1061.

PLATE 57 STANFORD WHITE Born 1853 in New York City, where he died in 1906. The son of that eminent scholar and literary critic, Richard Grant White, he grew up in an atmosphere which brought early contact with writers, artists, and architects. After his college course at New York University, he went to Boston as a draughtsman in the office of H. H. Richardson, to begin his chosen career. There White was entrusted with some of the drawings for Trinity church, work which introduced him to McKim and St. Gaudens. In 1878 he went abroad, and his travels brought a marked reaction from his previous ruggedly severe style which reflected the influence of Richardson. Upon his return to New York, White entered into partnership with McKim and Mead; the partners working in such close collaboration that it is impossible to ascribe single structures to an individual member of the firm. Among those buildings, however, in which White took a leading part may be men- tioned numerous New York clubs, including the Players’, Lambs’, Metropolitan, Century, and Colony; Madison Square Garden, several churches, and the group of buildings for New York University. 1067.

PLATE I1g JAKOB WOLFF Born about 1570 at Bamberg in Oberfranken; died 1620 at Nuremberg. The son of a stone-mason, he studied and worked under his father’s supervision, showing such marked ability that the municipal council of Nuremberg offered him a gen- erous scholarship for study abroad on condition of his pledge to return, and not to accept offers of employment in other cities. He travelled extensively through Germany and Italy, returning in 1605 to Nuremberg, where he was immediately appointed to the dual position of city architect and building supervisor. His most important single edifice was the town hall, an imposing structure; but other works worthy of mention are his own residence, the bastions of the city gate, and the plans for buildings at Frauenaurach which were later erected by the Markgraf Christian.

A fellow of All Souls’ College, he was also professor of as- tronomy at Oxford for a year but thereafter devoted himself to architecture. Among his earlier works were designs for the cloister and chapel of Brasenose College, the Sheldonian theatre, and the Ashmolean museum, all at Oxford, while at Cambridge he planned the Pembroke College chapel and Trinity College library. In London he erected Kensington Palace, Marlborough House, Temple Bar, and many parish churches. The best examples of early architecture in America bear the impress of his art. After the great London fire of 1666, Sir Christopher Wren was appointed surveyor-general and chief architect for the reconstruction of the devastated district, his most important work being the rebuilding of St. Paul’s cathedral as depicted on the medals described below. He erected Hampton Court palace and the observatory at Greenwich which sets the clocks for all the world. He was a founder of the Royal Society, also its president, and was twice elected to Parliament. 181 i} 1073. i if 1073a. i 1074. ; 1075. | 1076. | 1077. 1078. 1079. 1080. wae Obverse.

The son of a police magistrate who was appointed to the dis- trict of Lambeth in London, Wyatt was destined for a political career and educated to this end, in further pursuance of which he went to Malta. On his travels his interest in architecture and archeology was so strongly developed that he made a definite change upon his return to England, entering the office of Phi ip Hardwick. Wyatt’s first appointment was that of supervisor of construction of warehouses at St. Katherine’s docks; somewhat later he was made district surveyor for Hackney. By 1838 his practice had so prospered that he took into partnership David Brandon, who for thirteen years collaborated with him in the construction of churches, court-houses, asylums, and private residences. Their best-known work is probably the church at Wilton, an ambitious essay in Lombardic architecture—one of the earliest modern buildings in which mosaic decoration was introduced; and the Governesses Benevolent Institution. Both of these buildings are shown on medals described below. Wyatt was for three years the president of the Royal In- stitute of British Architects. Obverse. View of Wilton church.

He entered the service of the crown and was appointed Lord Chancellor, with authority over the royal estates at Henley, Easthampstead, and Windsor, being also inspector of the castles at Windsor, Leeds, Dover, and Hadleigh. While Dean of St. Martin’s-le-Grand in London he rebuilt the cloister, chapter house, and body of that church. Wykeham founded New College, Oxford, and laid the corner-stone; he also founded the famous Winchester School and St. Mary’s College, for both of which he erected buildings. As supervisor in Kent for King Edward II, Wykeham erected the royal apartments east of the great Windsor keep and a castle on the isle of Sheppey, making also extensive additions to the cathedral at Bishop’s Waltham. The reconstruction of its nave was completed only a few months before his death, and Wykeham was buried in the chantry.

His course of study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he was a pupil of Le Bas and of Viollet le Duc, was crowned by the award of the grand prix de Rome and supplemented by travel in Italy. Going thence to Belgium, van Ysendyck worked for a time in the atelier of Cluysenaar in Brussels, in which city he later established himself. He executed the reconstruction work in connection with Notre Dame du Sablon, a church famous for its mural paintings of the early fifteenth century, and designed the restoration of numerous Belgian cathedrals. At Ghent he built the house of the Provincials, a religious order, and in Brussels many private residences. A member of the Belgian Academy, he published treatises on architectural subjects and a book entitled “Documents classés de l’Art dans les Pays Bas.” Uniface. Bust facing left.

The son of a well-known architect, J. J. van Ysendyck, he studied with his father and at the royal academy of fine arts in Brussels. Returning to his father’s atelier for practical experience, he remained there for some time in collaboration, notably on the restoration of the church, Notre Dame du Sablon. Later establishing himself independently, van Ysendyck built additions to the town hall at Schaerbeek and restored the church of St. Martin at Hal. He also erected numerous chateaux and Private residences throughout the country, these being mainly in the Flemish style. He has taken an active part in movements for promoting the architectural development of Belgium, and has served as vice-president of the Société centrale d’Architecture. Uniface. Bust to right.

After his early studies in Berlin he be- came a master-builder and assisted his father, who was a contractor; but upon his father’s death in 1781, Zelter abandoned his architectural activities, devoting himself exclusively to music. He became director of the Singakademie, professor of music at the university and at the Royal institute in Berlin, and founder of the Berliner Liedertafel. For years he was the intimate friend of Goethe, for many of whose poems and ballads he composed musical accompaniments. Obverse. Head to right. *K. PR. PROF. D. TONK. DR. RITT. C. F.

Upon his return to Munich, Ziebland designed a building for the Land-tax commission, the basilica of St. Boniface, and the exposition hall on the K6nigsplatz. Outside of Munich his principal works are the mural decorations of King Ludwig’s villa in Rome, a memorial chapel at Aibling, the comple- tion of the Auerkirche, and the restoration of the Wartburgerschloss, famous as the scene of Wagner’s Tannhiuser.

He was an architect, but was better known as an artist, being a pupil of his brother Taddeo Zuccheri. After several years spent in England as a portrait-painter, he went to Rome and there designed his own residence on the Monte di Trinita. At Florence, Zuccheri painted the frescoes in the cupola of the cathedral, which had been left incomplete on the death of Vasari; he also painted frescoes in the Escorial for Philip II of Spain.

SIMON BOGAMIL AMADEUS ZUG Born 1733 in Saxony; died 1807 in Warsaw. He spent most of his life in Poland, being a favorite of King Stanislaus August III, who appointed him to the position of court architect. Later the king made Zug a knight and had a medal struck in recognition of his gratuitous services in designing the Evangelical church, and of a liberal donation made by him toward the expenses of the edifice. This church, a section and an elevation of which are shown on the medals de- scribed below, represents Zug’s most important architectural achievement, but he also designed a sanctuary at Nieborov, built the Dekerta palace and numerous private residences at Warsaw. Zug wrote in German a study of the gardens of that city, and this text has since been translated into Polish. Obverse. Bust to right with peruke and in the garb of the period.

His preparation for his profession included courses of study at Brieg, Breslau, and Berlin, after which he became a pupil of Schinkel, who took great interest in Zwirner, using him as an assistant in Berlin and Colberg and recommending him for other appointments. In 1833 Zwirner moved to Cologne in response to a call to be building inspector for certain additions to the cathedral. Other and more important work was soon entrusted to him, with the result that the reconstruction of the Cologne cathedral became the main interest of his life, winning for him every conceivable honor and distinction. His activity, however, was not confined to this one great undertaking, In the same city, he built the synagogue, and at Remagen the Apollinariskirche; these two edifices, as well as the great Cologne cathedral, are shown on medals described below. Zwirner also rebuilt churches at Elberfeld and Miihlheim, and reconstructed several of the Rhine castles. His devotion to the work of restoring the Cologne cathe- dral was so great that many of his contemporaries felt his indefatigable zeal had hastened his death. He was buried at Melaten in a tomb prepared in his honor by the municipality of Cologne. Obverse. Cologne cathedral as completed. DER DOM ZU KOLN IN SEINER ZUKUNFTIGEN VOLLEN- DUNG | UNSERE HOFFNUNG.
