<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2989157, member: 24274&quot;]This was done during the Nouveau period, but I don&#039;t think it really falls into that style, though it may have been influenced. The engraved work done at the Bureau of Engraving &amp; Printing, as well as American Bank Note Co., really can only be categorized as &quot;banknote art.&quot; The 1896 Educational series is probably the ultimate in U.S. banknote art. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to see a banknote that truly is in the Art Nouveau style, look at the vignette by <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/how-alphonse-mucha-designed-the-nation-state-of-czechoslovakia-29187905/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/how-alphonse-mucha-designed-the-nation-state-of-czechoslovakia-29187905/" rel="nofollow">Alphonse Mucha</a> on this 1920 Czechoslovakian 100 korun note. The design is much more stylized with the typical nouveau motifs.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images6.cgb.fr/images/billets/b97/b97_4217a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
