Description: The original 1862 “Virginia Treasury Note” – “One Dollar” note was engraved by “Hoyer & Ludwig. Richmond, VA.” and hand signed in brown ink. The serial number “121920” was also inscribed by hand. The bust in left corner is of Virginia Governor John Letcher. The note was issued out of Richmond, Virginia, and has a plain back. The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought December 11–15, 1862, in and around Fredericksburg, Virginia. The battle between the Federal “Army of the Potomac” commanded by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside and the Confederate “Army of Northern Virginia” under General Robert E. Lee, included the Federal Army's futile frontal attacks on December 13 against entrenched Confederate defenders on Marye’s Heights behind the city. It is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the war, with Federal casualties more than twice as heavy as those suffered by the Confederates. The battle scene, “Marye’s Heights”, was reprinted from a Lithograph engraved by Manhatten in the 1880’s. The scene depicts the Federal Army attacking the heights above the town of Fredericksburg, Virginia in December of 1863. The original artwork was done after the war by Union Lieutenant Frederick Cavada of the 114th Pennsylvania Regiment. He was at the Battle of Fredericksburg and later captured at Gettysburg. The hand made solid Oak frame is 11” x 14” (glass) in size. All of the frame and display work was done in our cabinet shop here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our "About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
