World's Columbia Exposition Award by A. Saint-Gaudens and Charles F. Barber 1893
About the Item
Bronze medal by Augustus Saint-Gaudes (front) and Charles F. Barber (back) for the official award at the World Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893, delivered to Baroness de Cortes. Being the last and largest World Fair of the 19th century. Interestingly, Saint Gaudens' original design for the reverse was rejected by Treasury Department officials because it depicted a nude young man. Therefore, the Mint asked Charles Barber for a suitable replacement. On the front, just behind Christopher Columbus we can see a hooded man with a beard, it is Augustus Saint Gaudens himself, being considered the only known self-portrait of the greatest sculptor in America.

- 'Quoting Charles Darwin I' a Fine Taxidermy Tableaux by Sinke & Van TongerenBy Sinke & Van TongerenLocated in Haarlem, NLThis monumental work is inspired on the famous quote of Darwin. “If everyone were cast in the same mould, there would be no such thing as beauty.” It is because of this quote that we added Darwin to our name Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren. This quote also fits our goal to do all our taxidermy work without the use of factory moulds that are typical for contemporary taxidermy. We sculpt all our bodies by hand and therefor can create the unique poses like how they line up in this mayor work. We combined many different birds with many different features from many different points of the compass. Together they form a 17th Century like composition of colours and poses. This collection varies from the rare African Congo Peafowl and a gracious Stanley Crane to a regular Dutch chicken. Quoting Charles Darwin...Category
