Vignette Sheet by Danforth with 3 Intricate Numerical Dies
Unique Vignette Sample Display Sheet by Danforth, Wright & Co. formerly from the Cyrus Durand Archive Book, Plate 58, with Three Large Undertint Counter Essay Dies in Black, Choice Crisp Extremely Fine.
This Vignette Sample Sheet measures about 10.25” x 10.25” having an unusual trio of Essay Dies normally in red color as “undertint” denominations. The three elements are all printed in black and affixed to the page guard and not the next page, ghosted to verso of Plate 57. On the vertical axis, three wide face counter dies, 20, 50, and 20 styled differently. Danforth, Wright & Co. measuring 100mm by 40mm. Simpler than most design sheets from the Durand book, but charming in its own way, and we continue to stress this is Unique!
