MMMM Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Does anyone have any links or book titles that have the Biographies of Banknote Designers? I know that frenchbanknotes.com has probably the best collection of biographies. Does anyone have any more? Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 There are several books by Gene Hessler that address the Engravers of Banknotes. The Engraver's Line and the International Engraver's Line. I'm not aware of anthing equivalent for the designers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 They are not "cheap", but well worth the money you will pay for them. When I ordered mine I got them signed by Gene Hessler, and a special intaglio engraved portrait: By John S. Wallace, a retired engraver from American Banknote Company.
