Verbouwing van de Stadsschouwburg te Amsterdam 1873 1873

This bronze medal, created by Jacob Samuel Cohen Elion in 1873, commemorates the renovation of the Amsterdam City Theater. The obverse of the medal depicts allegorical figures, including a seated female figure representing the city of Amsterdam, surrounded by other figures representing arts and sciences. The reverse side features an inscription in Dutch, detailing the renovation process and the involved parties. This small, yet detailed, work is a testament to the artistic skill of Elion and serves as a reminder of a significant moment in Amsterdam's cultural history.
