We are finally getting some time to cut and paste the variosu angles of the fablous engraving collection together. John Rohner, who honestly if there is one person responsible for the beginning that became the rennaisance of American engraving, it is him, started this collection many years ago. He would send a chasing hammer head of to various engravers and have them engrave them, so it is a unique microcosm of that engravers work on an engraving hammer.
For this picture, going by memory, which I should'nt do, but all my notes are next door in a pile on my desk. L-R first is by James B Meek, author of the Art of Engraving, next is Mitch Moschetti, next ( I think) is Robert Adams, next is Winston Churchill, next is Sam Welch, then Amayak Stepanyan, then Hans Rohner (John's son) and the last one is Ron Smith.

Hopefully the picture is viewable, I am not real good at shrinking pictures for the web and keeping them clear. I can make 13x19 prints razor sharp, but I don't have good luck with shrinking pics for the web.
More to come as we are piecing the collection together for a forthcoming article.
