Deutsche Kriegsmedaillen
Deutsche Kriegsmedaillen, a 1918 German-language study by George Francis Hill, drawn from Heidelberg University Library, catalogues First World War commemorative medals for a scholarly readership of collectors and historians. The plates show paired obverse and reverse photographs of cast medals, their figures, inscriptions and heraldic shields rendered in fine relief with a grey, documentary tonality that suits designers wanting period medallic lettering and composition.
