<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pawl, post: 1514815, member: 39816&quot;]Thanks so much for this resource. I found my way here by researching a&nbsp; vignette I have. I&#039;m still coming up empty as far as details about it,&nbsp; but I suspect it was taken from one of the volumes bound for&nbsp; dignitaries, as you described. I wrote a note to Elizabeth Hahn at the&nbsp; Numismatics Society and she was kind enough to help some and provide&nbsp; several other resources, including a book that&#039;s about to be published&nbsp; by the society—out of my price range at the moment—<u>The Feel of Steel: The Art and History of Bank-Note Engraving in the United States</u> by Mark Tomasko. The piece I have is, like so many of these engravings, luscious for the eyes! </p><p><br /></p><p>My&nbsp; card measures about 6 by 8 inches. And it has what appears to be the&nbsp; remnant of a hinge on the back edge (inside edge, were it bound). What I&#039;d love to find out is who the artist was for this version of the American eagle. And where it was used, if known.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=CONFIG]196593[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers, Paul</p><p><br /></p><p>I just found an example online (<a href="http://www.aype.net/souvenirs/bureauofengraving.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.aype.net/souvenirs/bureauofengraving.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.aype.net/souvenirs/bureauofengraving.html</a>). The Yukon Alaska Pacific Exposition of 1909 used the image in a publication. Not sure if it originated at that time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
