Providence, Rhode Island. Globe Bank. ND (18xx). $1. About Uncirculated. Proof.Wellstood, Hanks, Hay & Whiting. New York. India paper only. Center, splitting title, Atlas bearing weight of world topped with allegorical Four Continents, flanked on the ground by reclining Knowledge and Time. Shields with 1 counters in upper corners. Bottom corners, cherubs and filigree. One of most elaborate Wellstood vignettes which actually saw wide usage due to the large circulation of this bank. The signs of the Zodiac cross the diagonal equator of the globe with from left to right: Africa (tusk), The Americas (Indian princess), Europe (crowned), and Asia (umbrella). Amazing to behold under magnification with rich details. Atlas, poorly paid, has the ultimate labored look. This proof comes fully framed and sharply printed. A small repair is seen to the upper left corner tip. Four POCs. Examples of notes from this great title are rare in any form and no doubt absent from many collections.
