At some point or another, we’ve probably all nominated at least one commemorative/historical/related plaque in our time as Wayfarers. However, not all plaques we’ve found are created equal. What are the plaques you’re particularly happy you got to nominate?
For me it’s actually my most recent one, a set of dinosaur track-themed commemorative plaques at a local natural history museum honoring the donors that made the main attraction of the museum possible. Not only is it right up my alley (I’m a huge fan of all things dinosaurs/paleontology-related), I managed to get one of my all-time favorite photodisc shoots out of it.
Not very special visually but I’m quite partial to this one. Dedicated to Josephine Lang, a composer and singer, and her husband Reinhold Köstlin, a legal scholar and poet. I thought it was refreshing they put her first and added him as “her husband”. Fun fact, one of their kids was a godchild to Felix Mendelssohn.
Medallion imbeded in the concrete where FDR gave a speach in front of the State Capital building in 1937. He had come to check out the progress on some New Deal projects that were underway in Southern Idaho. Too bad this was in an already occupied cell, it will probably never be seen.
I have this one honouring the writer Nikolai Gogol, but not anywhere in Russia or a nearby country, it is in Baden-Baden, Germany. A place a bunch of Russian writers had visited frequently for its healing baths (and gambling establishments).
Gogol’s “Страшная Месть” is one of my favourite works - I had to hold a presentation about it 
This is a fun question! I could only bring one plaque to mind immediately that I had nominated, but looking at my submissions I found this gem:
This will be interesting.
I have a penchant for nominating things honoring locally significant people or events that even the locals may not immediately know about. I’m also not going to follow instructions and will show more than one plaque.
If anyone is interested Wyatt Outlaw has a Wikipedia page.
(ignore the accepted dates… they’re not right… for reasons)
Oh feel free to throw in as many as you want! More for me to gawk at!
I’ve only done two (and one is part of a larger installation that I nominated as a whole). Both are outdoor memorials at my church, one being for the 1960s era choir director (there’s a garden area with statuary not pictured); the other is for our 1956-86 pastor (whom I knew as a small child, he retired when I was in third grade).
Actually the only iconic nomination i did was this
