Field Scenes
 "Slaves weeding cotton" |
|
State of Alabama, $5 (1864) Southern Bank of Kentucky, $5 (1853) Michigan, Adrian Insurance Company, $1 (1853) (full note not pictured) It is unusual to find a plantation related vignette on a Northern note. The Planters Bank of New York has one, for example. The Michigan vignette is significant in that the image is extended a full inch to the right making up one seventh of a seven inch wide note. It also has greater clarity of engraving than either the State of Alabama or the Southern Bank of Kentucky.
