Thankfully New Jersey returns to classic design with the famous Washington Crossing the Delaware. They made a smart move by working from an already great work of art. It has that natural balance and triangle structrue that is found in so many older paintings. And the "Crossroads of the Revolution" fits evenly and nicely under the scene. Really a good quarter. I do take off a few points for lack of originality and a few more points off for having a slightly misproportioned people in the engraving. Up close they seem a little off. But I'd rather end on a high note, so well done New Jersey. -- Sean

Washington Crossing the Delaware is one of my favorite paintings of all time. If you haven't seen it in real life yet, go to the Met. It's larger than life and one of the 2 paintings I can sit and stare at for hours (the other being the Hopper's Nighthawks in the Art Institute of Chicago.)
Props to NJ for picking a wonderful design.
