Bram Stoker medal

Classical scene; three figures. Inscribed obverse: "Glasgow School of Art, Bram Stoker Medal for the best imaginative work of the year". This medal was cast from the original by Roger Millar, Head of GSA Silversmithing and Jewellery, 1990s.

Bram Stoker was an Irish novelist, known especially for the Gothic horror novel Dracula. Stoker was a friend of Francis and Jessie Newbery. The Newberys met Bram Stoker as well as Charles Rennie and Margaret Macdonald at a Glasgow Theatre in 1896. After the play, Newbery invited the Stokers and Mackintoshes to GSA, and Stoker mentioned he was working on a vampire novel. The Newberys offered their cottage at Cruden Bay in the North East of Scotland to Stoker to help him finish his novel ‘Dracula’. To repay his kindness, Stoker established the Bram Stoker medal, awarded to the most imaginative piece of work. GSA Director Tony Jones decided to revive the award in 1982, when it was awarded to Steven Campbell.
