COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, British Historical Medals, Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), architect, scientist and mathematician, cast Bronze Medal, by Gottlieb (George) Daniel Gaab (c.1714-1784), mid 18th Century, bust left, hair long, in buttoned shirt and loose mantle, CHRISTOP WREN EQVES AVR & ACHITECT - OBIIT AD 1723 ÆT 91, rev the West front St Paul’s Cathedral, VNVM PRO CVNCTIS FAMA LOQVATVR OPVS – INCEPT AD 1676 / PERFECT AD 1711, with AEDESS PAVLI LOND in exergue and signed G D GAAB SCVLP, rosette stops in legends to both sides, 99.5mm (MI 458/69; Eimer 497; Eidlitz 1073; JT pp.25-26). A superb contemporary example of this extremely rare medal, the images and lettering carefully tooled, extremely fine. The portrait is a reversal of the ivory bust, carved on an oval, by David Le Marchand (1674-1726), now in the National Portrait Gallery. Gaab exhibited two medallions of Sir Christopher Wren and of St Paul’s Cathedral at the Free Society from 5 King’s Street, Seven Dials in 1783, marking the 60th anniversary Wren’s death. The medal commemorates Wren’s greatest achievement, but before this he was a founding member of the Royal Society, had the chair of Astronomy at Gresham College (London) and was later the fourth Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford.
COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, British Historical Medals, The Rev William Stukeley (1687-1765), Antiquary, “Archdruid” and Freemason, the Famous “Stonehenge Medal” on the Death of Stukeley, 1765, large Copper Medal, attributed to Gottlieb (George) Daniel Gaab (active 1744 - d. 1784), bare head of Stukeley right with a wreath of clover (or, more likely, oak leaves) in his hair, REV GVL STVKEKEY M D SR & AS, æt 54, rev view of Stonehenge, OB MAR 4 1765 / Æ 84, 84mm (BHM 94). Choice extremely fine, light patination and extremely rare. Stukeley was a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Royal College of Physicians, and the re-formed Society of Antiquaries. The source of the images on both sides of the medal relate directly to Stukeley’s most famous book “Stonehenge a Temple Restor’d to the British Druids [&] Abury, a Temple of the British Druids …”, published in 1740. The engraved frontispiece shows the same bust, which is taken, in turn, from a self-portrait, showing him as a Druid, that is now in the British Museum. The reverse, also taken from the book, shows a “Prospect of STONEHENGE from the southwest”. It was the late Thomas Stainton who attributed the portrait as after that by David Le Marchand (annotations to his copy of BHM), which is known to have been executed in 1722, when Stukely was 35 – not the 54 shown on the medal. The medal is believed to have been made around 1775, ten years after Stukeley’s death. The medallist was certainly confused by Stukeley’s age at the time of his death, he died aged 78 and not 84, as shown on the medal’s reverse. Daniel Gaab signed only one medal, that of Sir Christopher Wren (see previous lot). ex “English Collector”, Glendining, 22 November 1989, lot 131, and Roy Davids Collection. Another example was sold in Baldwin’s Auction 38, 4 October 2004, lot 1037
COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, British Historical Medals, Manchester Grammar School, Charles Lawson (1728-1807), Usher, 1749, and Headmaster, 1764-1807, Glazed Frosted Silver Prize Medal (1847), by William Wyon, bust of Lawson three-quarters right in clerical jacket, rev PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT within wreath, 56.5mm, glazing with silver border (BDM VI 684). An un-named specimen, virtually mint state, rare. After a portrait by William Marshall Craig and engraved by James Heath. At the school Lawson was referred to as “Millgate’s flogging Turk”, he always spoke to boys in the third person beginning with the phrase ‘Psha, blockhead’. He was however exceedingly caring and the School continued to flourish.
COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, British Historical Medals, Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (1900-2002), cast circular Bronze Portrait Plaque, 1920s, unsigned, bust left, her hair short, wearing triple strand of pearls, 186mm. Much as made, softly sculpted and extremely fine, small piercing at top. The plaque offers no clues as to artist or founders and the cataloguers have been unable to make any attribution to what, without doubt, is a well presented portrait.
WORLD COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, Prince Victor Napoléon Bonaparte (1862-1926), Pretender (as Napoléon V) to the French throne, Copper Presentation Medal, 1901, by Wincenty Trojanowski, bust right with full moustache, rev radiating crown with olive branch to left, 68mm (Strzalkowski 20). A handsome portrait, virtually mint state, rare. Wincenty Trojanowski (1859-1928), Polish sculptor, painter and medallist, born Warsaw. Though acclaimed, his works, medallic or otherwise, are seldom seen in the commercial market.
