Five Dollar Bill


Five Dollar Bill
William Michael Harnett – 1880. Oil on Board Trompe l’Oeil. Philadelphia Museum of Art – Alex Simpson Jr Collection.

I thought this picture was fantastic work, and such a quirky idea it deserved to get remembered in every way possible!

It also reminded me of this picture taken during one of our many visits to Hong Kong’s Ocean Park. It shows me fanning out a batch of their “Middle Kingdom Notes”, the token currency valid within the Middle Kingdom section of the park.

Papers from Club Scrap "Study in Red" and "T+N", plus CS stickers from older kit; faux banknotes from an advertisement campaign; cherry stickers from Mary Engelbreit.
