<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smallberries, post: 1275819, member: 33441&quot;]<b>I stumbled my way into this thread a year late</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I found my way here while doing some research on engravings for the BEP.&nbsp; You&#039;ve got some great stuff here.&nbsp; You might like to know that the Valley Forge vignette was engraved by my great great grandfather Stephen A. Schoff (1818-1904).&nbsp; He was employed by the BEP briefly from 1869 to 1871, but he worked in the bank note field in general for his entire career.&nbsp; The Valley Forge vignette was designed by F.O.C. Darley and was intended to go on a U.S. $1 note that was never issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>The vignette known as &quot;Introduction of the Old World to the New (Pocahontas Presented at Court by John Rolfe)&quot; at the right side of the $10 &quot;Jackass Note&quot;, which you show in another posting was also by Schoff.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone would like to see more of his work, in the bank note field as well as illustrations and portraits, you are welcome to have a look at an online album I have up on Picasa: <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/105581468357796800096/AmericanHistoricalEngraverStephenAlonzoSchoff18181904" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://picasaweb.google.com/105581468357796800096/AmericanHistoricalEngraverStephenAlonzoSchoff18181904" rel="nofollow">https://picasaweb.google.com/105581468357796800096/AmericanHistoricalEngraverStephenAlonzoSchoff18181904</a>#</p><p>Comments are welcome if anyone is able to match any of his engravings with bank notes, stock certificates, stamps, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
