<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 770082, member: 17469&quot;]Perhaps we&#039;re just talking across terms. You said: &quot;As long as the subject is security engraving I say anything goes&quot;, which I take to be *requiring* the topic to be about *engraving* as opposed to some other aspect of the creation of a security or banknote. What I&#039;m saying is that engraving is but one aspect, and the one of more interest to me is the initial artwork that is eventually represented on the security. To try to be more clear, I&#039;ll post here the terms often used on banknotes:</p><blockquote><p>INV: in French, a inventé, the original artist</p><p>DEL: a dessiné, producer of the definitive sketch&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; of the design</p><p>SC: a sculpté, engraver of the die (or other&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; medium for printing)</p><p>FEC: a fait, &quot;he made it&quot; - a broader&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; term used when one person has the role of both INV and DEL</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></blockquote><p>What I&#039;m suggesting is that &quot;Security Engraver&#039;s Group&quot; appears (by name, at least) to restrict itself to folks that do &quot;SC&quot; above, and exclude articles written about the people that do the other parts. I would not exclude any of them, and also specifically not state that the articles *must* include a discussion of the engraver for the same reason you state - the literature you have may not include information about the engraver, whereas you may have plenty of information about the original artist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would simply suggest that we codify, as Rick is already incorporating in this thread, some of the suggestions for authors, and include a broadening of the scope as above. Rick, I&#039;d be happy to help as well, in whatever capacity seems useful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
