HAMILTON, Mrs L. VEREKER (Brit.). Contemporary Sculptor and Medallist. "The artists who have dabbled in medal-making are many", says Mr M. H. Spielmann in British Sculptors of To-day, "but few are those who have remained entirely faithful to it. Among them is Mrs Vereker Hamilton. Influenced by her master, Mr. Legros, and following the bold and apparently rugged and lumpy manner of the French medallist M. Charpentier — as opposed to the exquisitely refined modern classicism of M. Roty — she has produced an extremely clever series full of character, including "Lord Roberts " ; — " Viscount Gort " ; — "Sir Donald Stewart " ; — and the " Maharajah of Kapurthala " (illustrated). The last named was purchased for the Luxembourg Museum in Paris. " At the Exhibitions of the Society of Medallists this artist has shown a series of medals, amongst which were Portrait-medal lions and Medals of Miss Dorothy Swainson ; — Mrs Swainson ; — Bretony peasant ; — Field-Marshal Lord Roberts ; — Field-Marshal Sir Donald Stewart ; — Major-General Sir Ian Hamilton, etc.
