<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2521761, member: 24274&quot;]I hadn&#039;t thought about this thread for some time, but in searching for information about a particular vignette I went through my collection again. I thought it would be fun to give it a bump on a particular topic: the Civil War. In addition to the battle of the ironclads, posted earlier in this thread, I dug up seven other panels with Civil War related vignettes. Many of these appear on bonds from the era and a great number show up on the large format recognition certificates presented to Union army veterans after the war by various states.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537722[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537723[/ATTACH]The panel notes that this vignette was the work of engravers John Davis and James Smillie.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537727[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537728[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537729[/ATTACH]This one, entitled &quot;Volunteer&#039;s Departure,&quot; was engraved by Charles Burt.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537731[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537732[/ATTACH]This vignette -- &quot;Army and Navy&quot; -- was engraved by Louis Delnoce in 1862 and was used on an essay by American Bank Note when the Treasury was considering a federal $3 note.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537734[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
