This bronze medal, created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1893, commemorates the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The medal depicts Christopher Columbus, standing with a raised hand as he addresses his crew. The inscription reads, "CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, OCT 12 1492." This work, held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Saint-Gaudens' mastery of the medallic art.
