In Honor of Henry Lozé, Prefect of Police of Paris 1892

This bronze medal by Louis-Oscar Roty, titled "In Honor of Henry Lozé, Prefect of Police of Paris," is a fine example of Art Nouveau style. Depicting a seated figure with a cityscape in the background, it features a coat of arms for the Prefect. The inscription, "REGARDE, ÉCOUTE, VEILLE," meaning "Look, Listen, Watch," speaks to the Prefect's responsibility and vigilance. This work is a significant example of medallic art from the late 19th century and is currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
