This piece is a sterling silver commemorative medal, awarded by Kodak. It represents a special award for photographic excellence, presented at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, a significant event in cultural and technological history. The medal is struck in sterling silver, as indicated by the hallmark on the edge. The obverse features an embossed globe with the inscription "THE WORLD AND ITS PEOPLE" and "KODAK INTERNATIONAL COLOR PICTURE COMPETITION". The reverse is dedicated to the laureate, "JACQUES BETAIN", and is framed by laurel branches with the exhibition dates, 1964-1965. The object shows a period patina that testifies to its history and authenticity. The relief and inscriptions are clear and well-defined, preserving the integrity of the original design. The general condition is good, in accordance with its age of over half a century. As a collector's item, this medal is a testament to the history of photography and World's Fairs. It would find its place in a display case, on a desk, or within a collection dedicated to the history of photography or World's Fair memorabilia.
