$225.00

SKU 1933.1 Category

Black on India die-sunk on card. This engraving was rendered after an illustration by F.O.C. Darley, originally for the Continental Bank Note Company. After the banknote company consolidation in the late 1870s, American Bank Note Company came into possession of the plate. See back of scan for American Bank Note Company attribution.

This scene was used as a vignette on checks and similar documents, and pairs perfectly with the item linked to below.

Small India paper flaw and toning spot are inconsequential, but mentioned for accuracy.
