Schurz Memorial Medal

Victor Brenner, a New York sculptor, has just completed a handsome memorial medal of the late Carl Schurz. The medal is about two by three inches, a quarter of an inch thick, and the figures on it are in bold relief. On one side is a three-quarter length portrait of Mr. Schurz made from a photograph taken when he was forty years of age. This bears the dates “1829-1906,” and the Latin motto, "Ubi Libertas, Ibi Patria," "Where Liberty is, there is Fatherland." On the reverse side of the medal are the figures of two men moving toward a rising sun.
