- Info Bureau of Engraving and Printing engraved vignette of John Trumbull’s painting Declaration of Independence (c. 1818). Engraving by Frederick Girsch. This vignette has been featured on U.S. currency beyond the $2 bill. It was the reverse of the $100 National Bank Note from roughly the 1860s to 1880s. The vignette was also on Certificates of Indebtedness in the early to mid 1900s.--Godot13 (talk) 23:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

- Support High value, and of course very good timing (Happy birthday USA !). I'ved cleaned out more spots, but a very good and clear restoration, IMO. --Jebulon (talk) 15:37, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

- Comment Could you give some details of the restoration technique and how was it photographed/scanned? And what did you use as the source? I think all this should be specified in the file. Gidip (talk) 18:55, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
