British Historical Medals of the 17th Century: Medallists, Books, Authors, Collectors, Booksellers & Antiquaries
As attractive as historical or commemorative medals are in their own right and as telling as they are by their designs and inscriptions of the persons or events they honor (or, in some cases, vilify or deride), they tell us much more: by means of inscriptions, design and allegory, they tell us their age, of their makers, of the purpose for which they were made, the manner in which they were made, and the ‘story’ their maker wished to communicate.
