<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1072943, member: 24274&quot;]Darryl, this is another favorite of mine -- the design and engraving is impeccable. Many of the union cards are brilliant, since the plate printers were out to impress their peers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lucyray, I concur with krispy on some of his reasons for collecting souvenir cards, such as affordability. But there is a certain romance to fine engraving, and I appreciate the skill it takes to create depth and beauty from a collection of tiny lines. I also like the idea of owning a piece of art that may have been printed in 2010 from a plate that was created 150 years ago, yet it looks just as it did then. Kind of like shaking hands with the artist across time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
