-Harvard was already a legendary American Institution in 1767. when master silversmith. Paul Revere, honored the school with his elegant engraving "Westerly View of the Collcdges in Cambridge New England." Little did Revere knowthat he too was destined to be written in the pages of American history, as one of our foremost patriots. Kcvere's work of an, held in sacred trust throughout the years, will be re-created to mark Harvard's 350th Anniversary. To complete this arduous task, a world renowned craftsman was sought out . . Frank Gasparro. 11th Chief Engraver. United Stales Mint. Ciasparro's tenure at the U.S. Mint from Roosevelt to Reagan will also leave an indelible mark on American 1 listory. 1 lis superb designs of the Kennedy half dollar, the Eisenhower and Anthony dollars and the Lincoln Memorial cent, have set a standard of perfection in engraving that other nations can only strive to achieve. ( j a s p a r r o has painstakingly sculpted Rcverc's work to absolute perfection. His bas-relief images of Harvard Hall. Stoughton, Massuchusett, Mollis and Holdcn Chapel will be acclaimed by the connoisseurs and critics alike, as a genuine masterpiece.
