<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1012968, member: 24274&quot;]I don&#039;t often promote items I find on eBay, but I just discovered one I really think deserves some attention. This is the mother of all souvenir cards (though &quot;card&quot; doesn&#039;t really suit it). It is a 1979 reprint of a Rawdon, Wright &amp; Hatch specimen sheet from the 1850s featuring more than 130 vignettes and ornaments, all intaglio. Just under 1,000 of these were printed. I have one in my own collection and it is *gorgeous*. This dealer is offering these at a BIN price of $99, which is hardly more than the original issue price. This piece is huge: 23 x 28&quot; and would look great framed. Just as a representational piece of the engraver&#039;s art, you won&#039;t find anything comparable at this price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll post the image from eBay, though it doesn&#039;t really do it justice, and maybe try to scan some sections of my copy later.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D370286542607%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3AWNASIF%3AUS%3A1123" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D370286542607%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3AWNASIF%3AUS%3A1123" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=370286542607&amp;ssPageName=ADME:B:WNASIF:US:1123</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
