Antique 1920's Large Congressional Bronze Medal of Charles Lindbergh by American Sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser
Est: -
This is a fine quality bronze medal struck by the Congress of the United States of America to honor Charles Lindbergh for his accomplishment in the 1920's. It was designed and signed by the artist: Laura Gardin Fraser. Laura Gardin Fraser (September 14, 1889 August 13, 1966) was an American sculptor. She was married to sculptor James Earle Fraser. Laura Gardin studied under Fraser at the Art Students League of New York from 1910 to 1912. Alone or with her husband she designed a number of U.S. coins, notably the 1921 Alabama Centennial half dollar, the 1922 Grant Memorial half dollar, the 1925 Fort Vancouver Centennial half dollar, and the 1926 Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar. In 1931 she was the winner of the competition to design a new quarter with George Washington on the obverse. Her winning design was not selected by the then-Treasury Secretary, Andrew Mellon, who selected a design by John Flanagan. Fraser's design was coined as a commemorative five-dollar gold piece in 1999. From 2022 to 2025, the design will be used for the American Women quarters series that celebrates prominent American women. In 1924, she was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member, and became a full Academician in 1931. Although recognized principally for her metallic contributions, Laura won outstanding commissions for heroic-size sculpture. Of these, the most notable was her winning the competition for a double equestrian statue of Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson in Baltimore. The competition was held in 1936 and six eminent American sculptors, Lee Lawrie, Paul Manship, Edward McCartan, Hans Schuler, Frederick William Sievers and Laura Fraser were invited to submit designs. Fraser was the only woman sculptor invited to enter the competition. Her work was also part of the art competitions at the 1928 Summer Olympics and the 1932 Summer Olympics.
