Lt.-Gov. Carroll's medals were the last of the small size medals . Freeman Clowery in his book the Medals of Lieutenant Governors of Canada estimates that during the six years of issue that approximately 112 per year were issued.
Jean Bailleul (1878-1949) Born in Lille, France was a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris , under Louis-Ernest Barrias , Jules-Félix Coutan and Edgar Boutry . He made his debut in 1901 at the Salon des Artistes français .
Member of the Society of French Artists , he obtained an honorable mention at the Salon of French Artists in 1907. Around 1914, he became an art teacher in Quebec but soon after arriving in Canada had to leave to serve during the First World War . He did not return to Canada until 1920 and then founded the École des beaux-arts in Quebec, of which he became director in 1924 through until June 1929.
In Robert C. Willey's, Dictionary of Canadian Medallists, he references that the Carroll medal as having been struck by Bertrand of Paris. The edge does not show the familiar "AB" or the triangular mint mark of Arthus Bertrand that was in use at this time.
