GEORGE CUHAJ PERSONAL MEDAL

George Cuhaj has a personal medal, too. Here's the story he submitted this week. Thanks! -Editor

George Cuhaj personal medal book2 George Cuhaj personal medal book1

My sculptor/artist friend, James MaloneBeach of Mt. Pleasant, Mich. is making a series of personal tribute medals for friends of his. This is what he did for me, using my New York History knowledge base.

A copy of Washington Irving's Knickerbockers History of New York, with a cut-out thru the cover, and on the flyleaf is pasted a portrait of James Fenimore Cooper. The insert is a photo of me, set into an exquisite handcrafted copper and brass frame. The reverse of the medal has Cuhaj bio text from my Wikipedia page acid etched into it.

Neat item! Perfect for the numismatic bibliophile, although it pains me to see a book harmed in the process. -Editor
