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."
