 Charles A. Lindbergh 14-Inch Obverse Bronze Galvano For The 1928 Congressional Gold Medal Designed and Sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser GalvanosGalvanos can be made positive or negative (provided the pattern is the opposite: a positive pattern makes a negative galvano). In the numismatic and medallic field negative galvanos are the form of pattern making of a bas-relief to be converted into a die. Galvano casts are often mounted on wood and become a very desirable wall hanging. |
