Late 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eSo fun, and what a portrait, and surely a hand-drawn dollar bill will hold its value more than a real one!(:  Lots and lots packed in here--detail photos give a good sense, including of lots of exuberant mark-making and pattern. I know from the seller that this, and a second listed today, were pulled out of an old estate in Louisville, Kentucky. This one seems to draw reference\/inspiration from numerous currency sources, later 19th century treasury notes among them it seems; I think it is from the last decade or two of the 1800s or so. With what appear to be a rubbings of coins executed in graphite, too, underlying the pen work. (More rubbings on the other example, including of a half dime, (\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eminted from 1792 to 1873.) I know hand-drawn fantasy money was a thing (and may yet be again!) but this\/these are really the first examples I've come across and I think they're quite fantastic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 7 3\/4\" x 3 1\/8\". Ink and graphite on good weight wove paper. Ink bold and all more or less readable, and with no real bleed-through from one side to the other.
