Hahlo-25, Ralph Waldo Emerson plaquette

American Numismatic Society, 1987.147.88.

25. Ralph Waldo Emerson at 45 years of age.

Both a medallion (see #32) and this plaquette are thought to have been completed in 1911. This plaquette can be found in different sizes, ranging from quite small to a very large plaque format. Brenner does not call this a plaquette, so a large plaque could be what was exhibited here, but he also hasn’t grouped it with the larger works near the end of the exhibition either.
