In Honor of the 50th Birthday of the Poet and Novelist, P.K. Rosegger 1893

"In Honor of the 50th Birthday of the Poet and Novelist, P.K. Rosegger" is a silver medal created by Austrian artist Anton Scharff in 1893. The medal is a two-sided work; one side features a portrait of P.K. Rosegger, an Austrian poet and novelist, while the other side features a scene of two figures walking through a forest. The medal, with its delicate details and intricate engravings, is a testament to Scharff's skill as a medalist. It now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This work is an excellent example of the commemorative medal, a genre that flourished during the late 19th century, where artists would create medallions to honor significant individuals.
