This time out, one last batch of vignettes from the group of note cards I purchased from Michael Bean, the former BEP plate printer, several years back at the Baltimore Expo.

There isn't a unifying theme with this group, one depicts an old-time farming scene, one a seated allegorical female (Knowledge? Education?) and the other a guilloche pattern with a currency symbol ($).

I think all three of these vignette printing plates are part of Mike Bean's collection. They show up on a number of souvenir cards that Mike printed over the years:

I have quite a few vignette proofs in my collection. Some I've been able to match up to various stocks, bonds, checks, etc. Others are still mysteries.

Here's one that has been bugging me for a while. It's a progress proof that I think was part of a larger vignette. But I haven't been able to tie it to anything yet. If it looks familiar to anyone, let me know.
