The New York Times/1907/12/24/Schurz Memorial Medal
SCHURZ MEMORIAL MEDAL.
Sculptor Brenner Designs One of the Late Statesman.
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.
The medals have been struck in bronze and silver. Some larger examples of these in silver are mounted on wooden panels. They can be seen at the Gorham Company's Fifth Avenue establishment.
