Black glossy wraps with gold image and white lettering, 424 pp, well over 170 bw and color images, typically showing both sides of the medallions. Companion catalog to an exhibition jointly sponsored by the Frick Collection and the National Gallery of Art and held in New York and Washington, DC. From the foreword: Discussed and illustrated within this volume are more than 170 highly exceptional medals covering a 200-year period from about 1400 to 1600. Special attention is called both to the splendid artistry they exhibit in themselves and to the development of the medallic art wherever it flourished in Europe: Italy, France, Germany, England , and the Low Countries. A substantial book.
