This silver medal is a vertical rectangle with images in relief on both sides. One side shows a bust image of a young woman in profile. She faces to our left. Fabric tied in a bow at the top of her head drapes down over her neck and shoulders. The sides of the bow drape over her ears. A band of hair is visible just above her forehead and a single curl can be seen in an opening between the bow and back drape. The woman’s position is erect and she stares straight ahead. She has a long nose, sealed lips, and a slightly upturned chin. She wears a garment that falls in folds over her shoulders and seems to cross over her chest. The visible sleeve has a simple trim, and on it is the signature, G. Prud’homme, 1919. Inscribed in relief on the upper corner to our left is, ALSACE. The reverse side shows rooftops clustered together behind a stone wall adorned with a leafy vine and a blank plaque. In the upper area to our right, a substantial bird’s nest rests on top of a chimney. A large, long-legged bird with a thin, pointy beak perches on the nest and leans in toward a young bird. To our left is a tall building with a thin, narrow spire. The medal is contained in a rectangular, burgundy leather box. The box is lined with fabric of the same color, and a red ribbon appears to hold the medal in place. Gold-colored studs adorn the inner edge of the box. On the cover is a border of a gold-filigree pattern; tooled in gold is the inscription: To Mrs. Isabella S. Gardner from the French Educational Mission 1918.
