NotesMedium Note: Some of the images originated as steel engravings; these were probably transferred to the lithographic stone and printed as transfer lithographs. (Finlay 6/4/2004)

Source Note: Many of the images are based on bank note engravings. These sources (including in most cases the artists responsible for the original designs) could be identified by consulting resources in the Print Department at the New York Public Library. (Finlay 6/4/2004)
