Info needed about a Lalique Medal

[dicky113]

I have obtained a brass stamped medallion which is signed 'Lalique'. It measures 2cm square and has a ribbon loop attached at one corner. The medal features an angel with oustretched wings. The angel is resting her right hand on the letter P and her left hand on the letter R which has a number 2 entwined around it. I have seen similar medals which were designed by Lalique to raise funds for WW1 orphans but cannot identify this one. Also a similar one with the signature 'C H Foerster' ( or something like that) If anyone can recommend a link or tell me soomething about these I would be grateful.

RENE LALIQUE - BRASS - JOURNEE DES TUBERCULEUX - 1917 - MEDALLION




This is one of a series of medallions designed by Rene Lalique and sold throughout France in order to aid military victims of tuberculosis. A national fund-raising day was held on the 4th February 1917 when they were sold nationally to raise funds for the cause. This was supported by many local fund raising events

Thanks for that. The medallion I am describing is not the round 'pour les blesses de tuberculose' medal. The only writing on this one is PR2, any idea what that means? Thanks.
