Medal: Abram Stevens Hewitt

Louis-Oscar Roty

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a bronze medal with two sides. The medal is circular and made of bronze. The left side of the medal features a profile portrait of a man facing right, wearing a suit jacket and tie. The man's head is balding on top, with some hair on the sides. He has a beard. There are several lines of text around the edge of this side of the medal, including "Abram Stevens Hewitt" and some Latin phrases. The right side of the medal depicts a building with a flagpole in front of it. The building appears to be a large structure with many windows and a flat roof. There is a body of water in front of the building, with a bridge or pier extending into it. The text around the edge of this side of the medal reads "Haver of Commerce of the City of New York". The background of the image is a gradient that goes from black at the top to white at the bottom. The medal casts a shadow on the surface below it.
