Book Description
Excerpt from The Lincoln Tribute Book: Appreciations by Statesmen, Men of Letters, and Poets at Home and Abroad, Together With a Lincoln Centenary Medal From the Second Design Made for the Occasion by Roine This little book, including a full-face Lincoln medal from a design made for the occasion by the French medallist Jules Edouard Roine, is offered as a fitting souvenir of the centenary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. That many were eager to possess themselves of such a souvenir was made plain to the publishers of this volume when they brought out, toward the close of last year, The Lincoln Centennial Medal, which, in the midst of appropriate text, presented a larger Roine medal on which the President is represented in profile. That book - it appeared late last year - was published in three editions, one containing bronze medals, the second silver medals, and the third a gold medal, struck, all of them, from dies made from a design by Roine.
