On Jan. 25, 2021, Professor of Art Véronique Plesch delivered a lecture, “The Jesup Memorial Library’s Roundels in Context,” at a virtual evening organized by the Jesup Memorial Library in Bar Harbor, Maine, on “Medallion Mystery Talk.” Her presentation discussed the bronze medallions depicting early printers’ devices that grace the library’s façade and considered them within the context of library architecture and of the Gilded Age elite’s interest in book collecting. A publication is planned.
