NEUSS, AUGUST (Germ.). Son of Johann Jakob Neuss, and also a Medallist, who worked at Augsburg, circ. 1840- 1870. On his father's death, he became the owner of the Die-sinking establishment, founded by him towards the end of the eighteenth century. A commemorative medal of the First German Parliament, dated 1848, still bears the signature of J. J. Neuss as Director, and of A. Neuss as the Engraver. The artists, Sebald, R. Däufler, Rabausch, and others worked for A. Neuss, whose name then appears as Director, as on the Portrait-medal of Archduke John of Austria, 1848 (A. NEUSS DIR. — SEBALD F.). Amongst other medallic productions of A. Neuss, I may mention the following : Archduke John Baptist of Austria, 1848; — Field Marshal Count J. J. W. Radetzky, on his Victories at Somma Campagna and Custozza, 1848; — Cathedral of Frankfort-on-M., 1867; — The German Confederation, 1840; — Austro-Hungarian Constitution, 1849 (engraved by Rabausch) ; — Swiss Federal Choral Festival at St-Gall, 1856 (engr. by C.
