IN 1863, TREASURY Secretary Salmon Chase published a classified notice in The New York Times inviting “artists, engravers, and others” to submit designs to be printed on the first nationally circulated currency of the United States.

Guilloché!! 😍I love every bit of this. It is something I too have often found myself feeling, oddly, pride and admiration for when I stare at official government documents. I also feel reproach by my neurodivergent behavior when my efficient self accuses me of wasting time caring fl about “unimportant details”. Reading your post has confirmed for me that there is indeed beauty everywhere. I love your new look and thank you for sharing the video too--I am forever fascinated.
Love this look and reading about the process of landing on it. Thanks for sharing!

I learned so much from this! Love it.
