artist’s work have found their place in many a
collection, and of late he has been gaining more
and more repute in foreign lands as well as in
Austria. Among his more recent work, the medal
struck for the Dog Show held at the Hunt-
ing and Shooting Exhibition last year is a fine
specimen. The subject is the time-worn though
ever new one—Diana, the immortal huntress, with
the hounds ; but it is one which peculiarly lends

and Vienna’s faithful son. A furtive sketch by
Schubert’s friend, Moritz von Schwind, served
Schaefer as a model for the features. It is
characteristic of the musician and the part his
immortal Lieder played in the life of cultured
Vienna of days gone by. This medal is to be
bestowed on those societies and private individuals
who have as their aim the culture of this com-
poser’s songs. Schaefer’s medal “ Nach der
Arbeit” (“After Toil”) is commemorative of the
efforts made by the Volksbildung Verein and
the Volksheim in Vienna in the cause of popular
education. Schaefer’s work is always progres-
sive ; he is quite alive to his own shortcomings,
and every fresh example has its own individual
interest. A. S. L.
