EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1890, showcasing a hand printing-press at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D. C. The image portrays a scene filled with craftsmanship and industry as men diligently work in this manual workshop. Clad in aprons, these skilled engravers are seen meticulously operating the banknote printing-press. The attention to detail is evident as one can observe the careful placement of movable type on the press. Each stroke made by these dedicated workers contributes to the creation of intricate banknotes that would soon circulate throughout America's financial system. The atmosphere within this historic space exudes a sense of pride and dedication towards their craft. The bearded craftsmen stand tall, fully immersed in their work, embodying an era where manual labor was highly valued. This photograph offers a glimpse into an essential aspect of American finance during that time period - the artistry behind creating banknotes.

Preserved through line engraving techniques from 1890, this print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to those who contributed to America's financial history through their meticulous work at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
