1950? Five bronze medallions depicting fables of La Fontaine. Artist: Jean Vernon. Nothing on the verso.
These smaller medallions are in exactly the same style as the 2½" variety. The fiveI have are FC, FG, FS, GA, and WL. FG has something other than the title of the fable and the artist's name: "Ils sont trop verts et bons pour les goujats." Similarly, WL has the opening lines of its fable, and GA the closing line of its. The workmanship is excellent. I continue to pursue the question of whether some medallions were cast only in the smaller format and others only in the larger--or whether there were two complete sets, and how large they were. Are there more out there? I will give the "La Fontaine" medallion its own row, to show both faces. - Date
