EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic banknote for Kensington Bank, dating back to 1850. Created by the talented lithographer Augustus Kollner, this piece measures 17x20.6 cm and is housed in the esteemed Free Library of Philadelphia. The banknote itself is a true work of art, featuring two distinct designs on a single page. The top note depicts Wingohocking Mills along Frankford Creek in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These mills were owned by R. Garse & Bro. , and their grandeur is beautifully captured in this image. At the bottom of the note, a small building adds an extra touch of charm. The bottom note is equally fascinating with four different images adorning its surface. On the left side, there are detailed illustrations of sailing ships that evoke a sense of adventure and exploration. In contrast, the bottom image portrays a train symbolizing progress and modernity during that era. Lastly, at the top left corner stands an elegant depiction of a young woman adding grace and beauty to this remarkable banknote. As we admire this exquisite piece from America's past, it serves as both a testament to our nation's rich history and as an artistic representation of transportation advancements during that time period.
