Testimonial for giving Indians medals, engraved by Henry Dawkins, 1946.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/64038323

Reprint of a William Johnson Indian testimonial used for giving medals to Indians, printed from the original copper plate. The print is in a folder that states "On the occasion of the visit of the Walpole Society to the New York Historical Society on May 25, 1946 there were made from the original copperplate owned by the latter Society, fifty impressions of Sir William Johnson's Indian Testimonial, engraved by Henry Dawkins of Philadelphia in the month of April 1770 and originally designed to accompany the presentation of Royal medals to the Indians." The print has blanks where the names of the awardees, their particulars, and the date would be filled in. It comes with a letter of provenance from George Heye saying that it is an acknowledgement in recognition of a gift made to the Museum of the American Indian by the New York Historical Society.
