BMA142, 3 poster series, engraving development, 12 May

A portrait of Martha Washington, President George Washington's wife, was collaged together with the frame around Washington's portrait on the old US dollar bill.  Working in a layer above, I attempted to quickly replicate the look of printed engravings.  I then added a series of artistic filters, dark pencil and pointillism being the last used, until I achieved the look I wanted.  I then added some more shading to increase the contrast between the head and background.  The lettering was freehand and not my finest moment: I had run out of time for anything more precise.
