I was contacted by master engraver E. C. Prudhomme to engrave a plate like many other engravers and send it back to him for critiquing. I believe all of these wound up in a museum somewhere. JJ

The museum, if I remember right was (is) the Norton Museum in Shreveport.
wow -- time flies. i did one for him. i think it was a 1 x 3" plate. as per above, mr prudhome said it would be placed with many others in the shreveport museum.
It took some digging but here is a photo of what I sent to Jack.
A little more Digging...that was the R. W. Norton Art Gallery in Shreveport which is still there. It can be found via google.

Sam,
Your scroll on that plate looks very similar to Jack's.
Thanks Roger. I always liked Jack's designs shown in his book. My son and I had the pleasure of visiting Jack at his engraving shop in Shreveport many years ago and had lunch with him at a nearby restaurant. I do remember asking the standard new engravers question about how to price one's work and he spent about 30 minutes not answering the question.
