Full convention d’~ails will be found in subsequent issues. An exciting program is being planned FACTS ON MEDALLIC ART COMPANY Founding & Early History Medallic Art Company grew out of small lower Manhattan workshop of a Frenchman, Henri Weil~ around the turn of the century. He was joined by his brother, Felix Weil, and the %~o craftsmen imported the first die reducing machine into the United States prior to 1905. In 1919 Clyde C. Trees joined the two Weil brothers and after assuming the pres- idency in 1927, he helped build the workshop into the institution it is today, In 1960 Trees died and his nephew~ William Trees Loutb, was named president. Most Noted Medallic Art Company is perhaps most noted for its introduction into the United States of the die cutting process which allows fine art medals to be reporduced fPom sculptors’ original large size models. Famous names in American medals are found in the work of Medallic Art Company, ranging in importance from the esteemed Pulitzer Prize, the Nationa! Medal of Science, and the Medal of Honor to, perhaps, an exhibitors medal at a garden club. Present Officers & Location In addition to William Trees Louth as president, other officers are Mrs. Clyde C. Trees (widow of the former president) Vice-President & Treasurer, Julius Lauth (no relation to William T. Louth -- note different spelling) Vice-President & Art Director: and T. Tantillo~ Secretary. The company employs over 7S people in its plant located half a block from the United Nations in Midtown Manhattan. Equipment Key to the production of fine art medals in which the company specializes is the Janvier reducing machine. Named after French engraver Victor Janvier, the device re- duces a sculptor’s model exactly, cutting a die automatically (rather than by hand) in pantographic reproduction. The Janvier machine is used by mints throughout the world for die cutting. It is a little known fact that Medallic Art Company personnel trained the technicians at the U. S. Mint at Philadelphia after helping that institution obtain its first Janvier machine. Presses to stamp out the medals range from 200 tons (pressure capacity) to a 40 foot~ i~000 ton giant which is one of the largest and heaviest pieces of equipment in New York City. Other equipment accomplishes tbe finishing and mounting operations in this completely equipped medallic producing company. Products In addition to finely crafted art medals, the company also produces tablets, plaques~ emblems and the large medals known as medallions. Service medals for the U.S. government have been made by the company by the millions~ and interestingly the largest order for non-military medals occurred in 1931 when the International Harvester Company ordered one million medals for distribution to American farmers on the centennial of Cyrus McCormick’s invention of the reaper. While most orders are for thousands of medals, the company processes many single medal orders~ such as award of presentation medals for colleges, universities, associa- tions~ business fi~is, trade, commercial and social organizations. Famous Sculptors Medallic Art has worked with the most famous American sculptors including: Augustus Saint-Gaudens~ James Earle Fraser~ Victor D. Brenner~ Malvina Hoffrnan, Laura Oardin Fraser~ Herbert Adams~ Chester Beach~ Adolph A. Weinman~ John Flanagan, Anthony de Francisci~ Hermon A. MacNeil~ Paul Manship, Lee Lawrie, Brenda l~tnam~ Robert I. Aitken and many others. The company probably issues more commissions to sculptors than any other American organization~ and has continued to do so for many years. It constantly seeks new talent for work in medallic art. Maintains Museum In the showrooms of the premises of Medallic Art Company, 325 East 45th Street, New York~ can be seen a large display of medals made by the company during its 67 year history. The exhibit is open to the public during regular business hours and many tourists from the United Nations drop by to see the medallic exhibits. Prominent Medals Following can be seen some of the prominent medals, the current medals of promi- nence~ and the organizations for which Medallic Art Company is official medalist.

  • Centennial of the United States of America's Entrance Into World War I (A Medallic Tribute)
    Centennial of The United States of America’s Entrance Into World War I (A Medallic Tribute) by Richard C. Jewell Finally after years of attempting to keep us out of the war in Europe President Woodrow Wilson on the 6th of April 1917 asked Congress to declare war on Germany. His patience having been exhausted in his dealings with the Imperial German Government and the American people having been stirred up by a series of incidents including the sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman note, the time had come for America’s entrance into the War to end all Wars. The American Numismatic Society decided to commemorate America’s entrance into the First World War with a medal. Eli Harvey (1860-1957) was commissioned and his Declaration of War Medal, 1917 was the result. It was bronze, 3-1/2 inches in diameter, produced by the Medallic Art Company, New York. It was to be a single sided piece with a large fierce looking Eagle with its wings spread, perched on a rock with the date APRIL 6, 1917 below. There were 113 issued in bronze and another 50 issued in silver. French Premier Alexandre Ribot sent a mission to the United States soon after President Wilson asked Congress to declare war. The French Mission contained both political and military representatives of the Third Republic. Their reason for existence was to coordinate American participation in the Great War. The member of the mission, who stood out the most to the leaders of the Wilson Administration, the Congress and the U.S.
