From the early 1870s onward Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s younger brother Louis, who preferred to spell his last name "St. Gaudens," was a frequent contributor to the Saint-Gaudens studio enterprise. From time to time Augustus passed along to Louis commissions including this medal to commemorate the bicentennial of Benjamin Franklin’s birth. The commission, brought about by an Act of Congress of April 27, 1904, was originally awarded to Augustus, but he insisted Louis sign the work as his own. In 1905, through the auspices of Metropolitan trustee Daniel Chester French, Saint-Gaudens received a plaster copy of Jean Antoine Houdon’s marble bust of Benjamin Franklin (1788; 72.6), which had been given to the Museum in 1872. This well-known portrait was the reference point for the bust-length profile on the medal’s obverse. The reverse depicts a classically garbed figure of History sitting upon her throne holding a shield with a Latin inscription that translates as: "He snatched from the heavens the bolt and from the tyrant the scepter." The three allegorical figures at the base of the throne represent (from left to right) Franklin’s varied contributions to Literature, Science, and Philosophy. Medals were struck by Tiffany & Co. in early 1906 in an edition of 151: 1 gold, which was presented to the Republic of France, and 150 bronzes, 100 of which, including this one, were distributed by President Theodore Roosevelt.

The bustle was at its greatest extension by 1885. It was almost perpendicular to the back and heavily upholstered. The 1880s versions were as padded and heavily embellished as a drawing-room hassock of the period. It was a popular conceit that the cantilevers of these bustles could support an entire tea service. To sustain the greater weight of the 1880s gowns, light and flexible infrastructures were created with flexible materials-wire, cane, whalebone-held together by canvas tapes or inserted into quilted channels.

Spice box with grater

By the late 17th century, salt, which had been contained in extraordinarily ornate receptacles during the medieval and renaissance periods, had lost its prior ceremonial significance. Changes in customs and dining practices led to spice and condiments being used at the diner’s discretion. This spice box with its bold gadrooning may have been part of a large centerpiece or surtout. Other components of a surtout might include matching cruets for oil and vinegar, salt, and pepper boxes, as well as elaborate vessels or tureens supporting candle branches all standing on a decorative tray. The hinged compartments of this box, which are gilded inside, contained dry spices for the table such as cloves, pepper, salt, and cinnamon. At the center is a cylindrical grater for nutmeg which could be freshly ground at the table. Daughter of one of the founders of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Catherine D. Wentworth (1865–1948) was an art student and painter who lived in France for thirty years. She became one of the most important American collectors of eighteenth-century French silver and on her death in 1948 bequeathed part of her significant collection of silver, gold boxes, French furniture, and textiles to the Metropolitan Museum. The collection is particularly strong in domestic silver as illustrated by this spice box.
