Description

"1825" (1826) Erie Canal Completion Medal. By Edward Thomason of Birmingham, England, after Charles Cushing Wright. White Metal. Mint State.

81.2 mm. A splendid example with even light pewter-gray patina and hints of semi-reflectivity in the fields. The great English medal publisher Sir Edward Thomason was sufficiently impressed by C.C. Wright's smaller medal on this event (HK-1) that he appropriated the American design and re-created it in larger format without troubling to inform the U.S. owners.

From our (Stack's) Minot Collection sale, May 2008, lot 661.
