EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history from the U.S. Civil War - a Confederate Banknote from 1864. This particular banknote was the last issue of Confederate paper money, made in Richmond during the war. However, despite their production, the victorious North refused to honor them.
Interestingly, soldiers would use these banknotes to stuff in their boots to keep their feet warm during the harsh winters of battlefields. The center portrait on this specific banknote is that of Lucy Pickins, who was known as the very popular Governor's wife at that time.
The intricate details and historical significance of this Confederate Banknote make it a valuable artifact from one of America's most tumultuous periods. It serves as a reminder of the economic struggles faced by both sides during the Civil War and highlights how currency played a role in everyday life for soldiers on both sides.
This print is not just an image but a window into a time long gone, offering us insight into how people coped with adversity and found creative ways to survive amidst chaos and conflict.
