(What's a "Topic Summary?) Anyway,



One of my long-term interests is Herbemont, who flourished mostly in the first half of the 20th century. He was known for a soft style in his creations. I haven't seen a new one in awhile, but this one popped up on eBay. In fact, shortly thereafter, two more new ones appeared, but I have bids outstanding in some auctions, so purchases are on hold. so . . .

ECCE!



Something is wrong. The image is not posting.

    What an interesting piece. Hadn't seen this plaque before; the obverse is really striking - almost Byzantine. I assume that the blank area on the reverse was for engraving details of some sort (e.g., first communion, etc). Thanks for sharing.





    edited to add: too nice not to have pix, hope this overcomes the "improved" new software...

    Zohar, the links appear to work fine.

    STLNATS, now how the heck were you able to load the images?
