Signature Art Medals is looking for an Abraham Lincoln bas-relief portrait rendered in modern art style. Because almost every known relief portrait of Abraham Lincoln is smooth skin / wild hair that this has become a pictorial cliché, along with the stovepipe hat. What could be more appropriate than a Lincoln portrait made of...logs...(in an anthropomorphical design).

Welcome To Signature Art Medals
Signature Art Medals grew from the founders' passion for this amazing art that can be produced in rare medal form. The field is old as the Renaissance - when Pisanello created his first cast medal - to the latest issues of national mints and the collectors' issues coming from the studios and ateliers of medallic artists around the world.
As founders we believe we can make a significant contribution to this field by guiding the creation and production of highly selected medallic issues. We have gathered a team of leading organizations and individuals -- the top American medallists -- to aid in these productions. Intended for the medal collector, some of these medallic items will end up in the most prestigious museums for their beauty, quality, creativity, significance, and importance. We pledge to live up to our chosen motto "Knowledgeable Numismatists, Master Medallists, Creative Artists." -- MS, DWJ

I found your Signature Art Plaquette in my stocking this Christmas. I am most pleased. It is a great piece and I have it sitting on a small easel on my computer desk. The patina is lovely! I hope sales are going well and that you will be doing another in the not too distant future.

"Portrait of Lincoln" by Salathiel Ellis
- Galvano |
|
Salathiel Ellis designed many of the Presidential Peace Medals, and this portrait of Abraham Lincoln is the basis for the design of the Lincoln Peace Medals, considered to be one of the top American medals made.
Using an original plaster cast created by Ellis, this galvano was produced by first creating a reverse mold of the plaster, treating it to conduct electricity, and immersing it in a bath of dissolved copper. An electric current is passed through the bath, and slowly copper molecules deposit on the reverse mold over several weeks, thickening to the point of rigidity. The reproduction is precise.
This is a modern galvano issued as a collector's item for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial. It was made by the same technology — electrogalvanic casting — employed by the U.S. Mint in 1861 to make the Lincoln die cast for the Indian Peace Medal Series. The result is a high relief produced with pure copper. Available in a limited quantity.
