Lot of (5) Nearly complete American Bank Note Company Archive Series 1987-91.Only missing the final year 1992 book. This annual series of intaglio engravings was printed on acid-free cream-colored paper stock. There are twelve 8 1/2" by 11 1/4" pages for each year with four to nine vignettes per page. A few titles of the pages are duplicated among the series, but each of the over 500 vignettes are different. Important historical information about each vignette is included on a separate page. Each volume is held in buckram with gold stamping on the cover and closed with a ribbon tie. All of the engravings in this set are as-made Mint condition. The only recent example we see having sold was a complete six-volume set which realized $1,800 in 2018. A wonderful addition to anyones vignette or engravings collection.
