Engravers of mythological figures
The artist Asher Durand, who started business with his brother Cyrus, an engraver in New York in 1824, is responsible for the introduction of mythological figures, drawn in the Greek manner which gave their distinctive style to the vignettes on the bonds and share certificates engraved by the American Banknote Company (ABNC). In later years, until his death in 1948, Alonzo E. Foringer continued the tradition of portraying Greek gods and godesses. Many of his allegorical figures grace the vignettes on certificates issued during that period. Source: Hendy, 1980, p. 5.
