Crushed (hard) Morocco Leather binder, as used by U.S. Government on its Treaty documents.  Richly-gilted embellishment, by F.

Hand-painted onto streched vellum; weighs 31.7 ounces (900 g.); each panel is 11 3/8  x  15 1/4 inches (29 x 38.5 cm.) larger than the post-Beck panels, which are each 23 x 35 cm.

Chadwick's is the only Nobel diploma ever for sale on the world-wide web, the only Physics diploma ever for sale,  and the only Nobel diploma  ever  for  sale  which  is  embellished to this extent.    Price available upon request.

Comments on Chadwick's Nobel Diploma, by Dr. Burton Feldman, author of The Nobel Prize: a History of Genius, Controversey, and Prestige (Arcade, 2000) , in a letter to J. Schramek, 10 June 2001

"The portfolio you sent me of Chadwick's Nobel diploma is simply exquisite . Thanks very much for sending it. I  have seen many reproductions of the diplomas, but your packet is as close as I have ever come to handling one. And it's an eye opener. They can stand by themselves for beauty , apart from the Nobel link. The tooling is remarkable . Each diploma obviously must be done by hand - I can't believe any machine could produce such a work of art. And they are so classically simple and elegant."

Most Nobel Diplomas we have seen (in Institutions, e.g. Fermi's and James Franck's at th e University of Chicago ) are warped in various ways; thus we call attention to the condition of Chadwick's.
