This was the 27h issue of the Society of Medalists. It is one of the few medals in the series to which there is not"story" attached. Mrs. Huntington states, "African animals and their great variety of form and color are anunending source of delight to the animalier and personally, I am always happy when I can get the excuse to workon them, so this composition was done from a selfish point of view to amuse myself."

Apparently, collectors have also be "amused" by this delightful medal as it is one of the most popular in theseries. Original box and descriptive pamphlet. $210.00
