介绍（中）	Firmin-Didot是一家巴黎印刷公司，由一个出版商王朝经营，其中最著名的是Firmin（1764-1836），他于1789年继承了家族企业，并与他的兄弟Pierre（1760-1853）一起经营。大约在十九世纪之交，兄弟俩开始出版拉辛、维吉尔和贺拉斯文本的大量装订和插图版本，称为卢浮宫版本。法国画家安妮-路易·吉罗德-特里奥森是雅克-路易·大卫工作室的艺术家之一，受委托为令人印象深刻的大部头制作插图。也许正是在这一时期，吉罗德认识了菲尔明，并随后制作了这枚奖章所依据的出版商的壮观英俊肖像（凡尔赛，1823 年）。这枚引人注目的肖像奖章由技艺精湛、多产的奖章获得者让-雅克·巴雷（Jean-Jacques Barre）执行，体现了拿破仑时代后法国奖章艺术的世俗转变，当时奖章获得者采用了传统上为皇室肖像保留的媒介，而不是纪念取得巨大成就的私人。Didot 在成熟的年龄被描绘成时尚的头发和最新的现代服装，散发出一种适合他身材的男人的自信气息。菲尔明不仅是家族企业的傀儡，他还于1801年被拿破仑任命为皇家字体的总监，并发明了Didot字体，直到今天，Didot字体仍以其柔和圆润的衬线字体体现了经典法式优雅的概念。
介绍（英）	Firmin-Didot is a Parisian printing firm run by a dynasty of publishers, the most famous of whom was Firmin (1764-1836), who inherited the family business in 1789 and ran it together with his brother Pierre (1760-1853). Around the turn of the nineteenth century, the brothers began to publish lavishly bound and illustrated editions of texts by Racine, Virgil and Horace, known as the Louvre editions. The French painter Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson was among the artists from Jacques-Louis David’s studio commissioned to produce illustrations for the impressive tomes. It was perhaps during this period that Girodet came to know Firmin and subsequently produced the spectacularly handsome portrait of the publisher on which this medal is based (Versailles, 1823). This striking portrait medal, executed by the exceptionally skilled and prolific medalist, Jean-Jacques Barre, exemplifies the secular shift in medallic art in post-Napoleonic France, when medalists employed a medium traditionally reserved for the likenesses of royalty to instead enshrine the memory of private individuals of great achievement..Portrayed in his mature age with fashionably tousled hair and the latest of contemporary dress, Didot projects a confident air befitting a man of his stature. Not only was Firmin the figurehead of his family business, he also was appointed director of the Imprimerie Royale by Napoleon in 1801, and invented the Didot fonts, which to this day embody the very notion of classic French elegance with their softly rounded serif lettering.
