The Percival Hedlay plaquettes are sold here for continuity with the plaquette of Elgar in the previous lot. Two share a curious ‘inverted’ design in that the image ‘hangs’ with a curved base and a ‘base-line’ top. D’Albert considered himself German although born in Glasgow to an English mother and a French Italian father. He was five times married. The rarity of Percival Hedley’s works has led to him being very much underestimated as a medallist.

The City of Parma commissioned a huge monument to celebrate the centenary of Verdi’s birth. Construction began in 1913 and it was inaugurated on 22nd February 1920 in the Piazzale della Stazione.

It was damaged by Allied bombing in World War II and later dismantled and the nine surviving statues were set up in the “Arena del Sole” Cinema in Roccabianca.
