<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1255044, member: 24274&quot;]The exquisite portrait of Peter Paul Rubens was cut by master engraver Frederick Pauling, who worked with several bank note firms, as well as the BEP, where he engraved the reverse of the $100,000 note. In 1939 this print hung in the Smithsonian. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think my favorite of the collection are the four Washington city scenes. These scenes were previously printed in the 1946 convention book and later reprinted in a number of others. Three of the vignettes (but not the Washington Monument) also show up on two early BEP souvenir cards, Sandipex &#039;69 and Fresno &#039;69, in multicolors. Each is a small work of fine art.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope you all enjoy a peek at this as much as I do sharing it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
