520 _a"The Medallic History of the United States of America 1776-1876" by J. F. Loubat is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work explores the significance of medals as symbols of national honor in American history, specifically focusing on those awarded during pivotal events up to the century mark in 1876. Loubat emphasizes the artistic and historical value of these medals, which commemorate renowned individuals and key moments in the formation of the United States. At the start of this work, Loubat lays the groundwork for understanding the role of medals as important historical artifacts that document achievements and events in American history. He discusses the motivations behind the creation of national medals, particularly during and after the Revolutionary War, and introduces the scope of his research, which seeks to clarify the history and design of various medals. The author also highlights the artistic contributions of notable engravers from France who were commissioned to create these pieces, setting the stage for a detailed examination of individual medals and the stories they represent.
