1. Title: Commemoration Medal for Thomas Carlyle (image 2 of 5), 1875 Description: This image showcases the Commemoration Medal for Thomas Carlyle, created by the renowned British sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm in 1875. The medal commemorates the life and achievements of the esteemed Scottish author and historian, Thomas Carlyle. The medal, which is part of a series of five, is made of bronze and features a detailed profile portrait of Carlyle on the obverse side. On the reverse side, an inscription reads, "Thomas Carlyle, Author and Historian, Born December 4, 1795." Background: Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) was a prominent Scottish writer, historian, and essayist, best known for his works on history, biography, and social criticism. His most famous works include "The French Revolution: A History," "On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History," and "Sartor Resartus." In recognition of his significant contributions to literature and history, Boehm was commissioned to create a series of commemorative medals in honor of Carlyle. Artist: Joseph Edgar Boehm (1834-1890) was a British sculptor, known for his portraits of notable figures from the 19th century. He was knighted in 1886 for his services to art. Boehm's intricate and detailed style is evident in this medal, which captures the essence of Carlyle's character and legacy. Provenance: This Commemoration Medal for Thomas Carlyle is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), located in Los Angeles, California, USA. The medal is an essential addition to the museum's extensive collection of 19th-century art and historical artifacts. Conclusion: This exquisite Commemoration Medal for Thomas Carlyle, created by Joseph Edgar Boehm in 1875, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Scottish author and historian.
