EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a piece of Virginia Currency from 1777, valued at one-sixth of a Spanish dollar. Created by the American School in the 18th century and now part of a private collection, this historical artifact sheds light on the early days of American independence. Following the Declaration of Independence in 1776, each newly formed state began issuing its own paper currency. This particular note was printed according to the value set by the Spanish milled dollar, which served as a benchmark for many colonial currencies at that time. The intricate design and craftsmanship displayed on this banknote highlight its importance as an autonomous form of money for Virginia. The image depicts symbols representing freedom and independence, reflecting the spirit of America's newfound nationhood. As we gaze upon this litho reproduction from the 19th century, we are transported back to an era when these banknotes played a crucial role in shaping America's economic landscape. They were not only used for trade but also represented a symbol of national identity during those transformative years following independence. Preserved within The Stapleton Collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history and how far we have come since those early days when states like Virginia established their financial autonomy.
