The Money Show of the Southwest Intaglio Print card features the $1 Silver Certificate, "Education Series Note," Series 1896 and a vignette of the Alamo.
The back of the Series 1896 $1 Silver Certificate note, widely known as the "Educational Series Note" (Miscellaneous die #4192) was designed by Thomas F. Morris and completed in 1896. Mr. Morris had a long, successful career as a banknote designer (American Bank Note Company 1869-1888; Homer Lee Bank Note Company 1888-1893) before joining the Bureau in 1893 as Chief of the Engraving Division. He remained at the Bureau until 1897.
The back of the note bears portraits of George and Martha Washington. The portrait of Martha Washington was engraved in 1875 by Charles Burt (Miscellaneous die # 2165) and the portrait of George Washington was engraved in 1867 by Alfred Sealey from a painting by Gilbert Stuart.
The vignette of the Alamo (Miscellaneous die # 16038) was completed in 1949 and engraved by Richard Bower. Mr. Bower was employed at the Bureau from 1935-1949, where he engraved pictures on postage stamps, migratory bird stamps, and military payment certificates.
