MOLARINHO, JOSÉ ARNALDO NOGUEIRA (Portug.). A native of Guimara?s, and a Medallist of merit, who lived at Porto during the second and third quarters of the nineteenth century. He was employed at the Mint of that city as Engraver, and, says Arag?o, his numerous works in die-sinking are justly appreciated. I have noticed his signature on medals of the — Inauguration of the Minho Railway, 1875, and Douro Railway, 1879; — Angola Expedition, 1860; — Prize Medal of the Braga Exhibition, 1863 ; — Friendly Society of Typographists, 1864; — Inauguration of the Crystal Palace at Porto, 1861 ; — Agricultural Show at Braga, 1863 ; — Medal of the Real Associac?o central da Agricultura Portugueza, 1864; — Horticultural Show at Porto, 1877; — Capelloand Joens, Portuguese explorers, 1855 ; — Tercentenary of Camoes, 1880; — Centenary of the Marquis de Pombal, 1882; — Ja? de Deus, poet, 1893 ; — Visit of the Emperor D. Pedro II. to Porto, 1872, etc. Bibliography. — A. C. Teixeira de Arag?o, Descripc?o geral e historica das Moedas cunbadas em nome dos Reis, Regentes e Governadores de Portugal, Lisboa, 1874. — A. Moyaux, Les Chemins de fer, 1905.

MEYBUSCH, ANTON
MEYBUSCH, ANTON (Germ.). Medallist, said to have been of German origin, but I should suspect Dutch, as the Engraver sometimes signed himself Meijbus. He was probably born at Copenhagen, where he first studied, and learned the art of die-sinking. Between 1667 and 1677, he was, according to Nagler, engaged in medallic work for Christian V. of Denmark; after 1676 he went over to Stockholm and produced there numerous medals of Charles XI. and Queen Ulrica Eleonora. In 1684 he was invited to France...
