One of the most mysterious, in my opinion, medallists is Jonathan Marmaduke Swanson (1888-1963). For several years I have not found a single photo of him, except for group photos with a large number of people, where the faces are not distinguishable. There is only a self-portrait on a medal.  |

Fantastic medals, WHC! I had never heard of J.M. Swanson - thank you for educating me and sharing your medals.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I can continue to show my medals, but I would like to see Swanson from other collectors.
Does no one really have his medals?
He is a legendary medallist, without exaggeration.

Did he do any in the Society of Medalists series?
