THE AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUED SIX ANNUAL FOLDERS (1987-1992) CONTAINING INTAGLIO ENGRAVINGS ON ACID FREE CREAM COLORED STOCK OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY'S ARCHIVES. EACH FOLDER (PORTFOLIO) CONTAINS TWELVE STANDARD PAGES OF VIGNETTES WITH VARYING NUMBERS OF VIGNETTES PER PAGE. EACH PAGE HAS A CLEAR PLASTIC SHEET PROTECTOR. THERE ARE DESCRIPTOR PAGES WHICH DEFINE AND IDENTIFY EACH VIGNETTE. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 502 DIFFERENT VIGNETTES FOR THE SIX YEARS. RATHER THAN DESCRIBE THE PAGES WE HAVE IMAGED THEM SO YOU CAN SEE THEIR BEAUTY.

THE IMAGERY IS IN AND CHECKED OUT SO IF THE IMAGE DOES NOT LOAD, TRY AGAIN.
