<p>[QUOTE="USS656, post: 761266, member: 6641"]As I posted in another thread, I recently purchased a print that was made by the American Bank Note Company. It came today in the mail. On Sunday I realized that the print was cut from a copy of "The Story of the American Bank Note Company" (print after page 27). I figured it out by opening my copy of the book which I had just received a couple weeks ago and had not had the chance to go through. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I confirmed it today when it showed up and I examined it. It is really okay because I like the print and look forward to having it framed and hung on my office wall.</p><p> </p><p>Now to the Minor Mystery. While examining the cut page I noticed that the back of the print had what looked liked faint red ink. It was hard to tell what it was from and showed up better as I changed the light slightly. So I looked at the same page still in my book and the ink was there as well.?. I flipped the page and on page 31 there is a graph of the evolution of the ABNC. It is the same image that shows up in reverse on the back of the print. So what is the mystery you ask? The chart has two printed pages between it and the back of the print. Only the graph shows up and nowhere else in the book does this occur. There are other pages where you would think it would happen again, but does not. I would bet that all other copies of this book have the same odd issue.</p><p> </p><p>Any thoughts???</p><p> </p><p>Here are some BIG images to show what I am looking at.
