Description
FRANCE. Albert Sorel Silvered Bronze Plaquette, 1904. UNCIRCULATED.
Weight: 135.7 gms; dimensions: 70x58mm. By JC Chaplain. Obverse: Portrait bust of mustached Sorel facing right, ALBERT SOREL DE L'ACADEMIE FRANÇAISE. AETATIS SUAE LXII above and below; Reverse: Olive branch and bouquet of roses tied at base with a ribbon behind an open book, the facing pages inscribed at tops, respectively, "1874" and "1904", A ALBERT SOREL EN COMMEMORATION DE L'ACHEVEMENT DE SON LIVRE L'EUROPE ET LA REVOLUTION FRANÇAISE SES ELEVES DE L'ECOLE DES SCIENCES POLITIQUES AVEC LE CONCOURSE DE SES AMIS ET DE SES AMIRATEURS. 1874 1904 above. Albert Sorel (1842-1906) was one of the most influential diplomatic historians of the late 19th century. As this plaquette observes, he was appointed to teach diplomatic history at the Ecole des sciences politiques (later the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, more familiarly known as Sciences Po); several of his courses developed into books published throughout the 1870s. He was elected a member of the Académie des sciences morales et politiques in 1889) and of the Académie Française in 1894. The present medal commemorates his 30 years of teaching at the Ecole des sciences politiques (1874) and the coincidence of that anniversary and the publication of the final, 8th volume of his greatest historical work L'Europe et la révolution française (1904), which he had begun decades earlier and which remains one of the seminal studies of revolutionary and Napoleonic diplomacy across Europe.
