The Artist name is Emil Fuchs. He did alot of work for the Upper Class in the late 1800's and early 1900's. I know he did coronation (sp) metals for the Queen of England. He also did a postage stamp. I have a relief by him. As an artist he did alot using all mediums- Painting, Sculpture, Bronzes etc.-Michelle
