I'll be presenting twice at the Philadelphia Expo --- Friday at 12 noon, and Saturday at 12 noon.
Consider yourself cordially invited to attend!
Royal Portraits: Medals of the German Empire, with Dennis Tucker. In the 1800s and early 1900s, thousands of different medals were struck to celebrate the German royal and imperial families. What do these regal portraits tell us about Germany and the German people? And as the Empire began to fall apart during World War I, how did those messages change? Award-winning researcher and writer Tucker will share images from his collection in this richly illustrated presentation. Friday, October 1 at 12pm and Saturday, October 2 at 12pm in Room 305.

If I had two hours, I would love to expand it to other royal families.
Unfortunately there's an 11:00 a.m. presentation right before me and a 1:00 p.m. scheduled right after me (both days)!
The mistake is in the birth year of Kaiser Wilhelm I --- should be 1797, not 1791.
I bought a few new portrait medals from Donald Young this afternoon. Told him they'd probably end up in the exhibit case!
Stop by and take a look if you're interested, and you're welcome to attend my presentations at noon Friday and Saturday, Room 305.
