HARDY, CLAUDE
HARDY, CLAUDE (French). Coin-engraver at the Mint of Nancy from 1698 to 1702. "His work," remarks Lepage (Les Graveurs de monnaies et médailles des ducs de Lorraine, 1 87 5) "showed taste and intelligence, but his early death prevented him from greater success". His father (?) had occupied a similar post previously (Vide JEAN HARDY). Although Rondot (Les Graveurs de monnaies ? Lyon, 1897) does not appear to have noticed it, I should think this Claude Hardy is the same engraver who was employed a...

HARNISCH, JOHANN BAPTIST
HARNISCH, JOHANN BAPTIST (Austr.). Medallist of the first quarter of the nineteenth century, resided at Vienna, and was Director of the School of Engraving, died in 1826 (according to Bolzenthal). Schlickeysen gives his date as 1785-1833, erroneously I believe. Very little appears to be known about him, except that between 1812 and 1826 he was Court Medallist and between 1808 and 1812 Coin and Medal-engraver at the Vienna Mint. By this artist are : Marriage of the Empress Marie-Louise, 1810; — F...
