The People's Bank of New Brunswick was a short-lived chartered bank, incorporated in 1866 and operating out of Fredericton. It never achieved significant scale and was absorbed before the wave of bank consolidations that reshaped Canadian chartered banking in the late nineteenth century. Notes from this issuer are genuinely scarce simply because the bank did not last long enough to put large quantities into sustained circulation.
Local printing in Fredericton, rather than the continental engravers used by larger Canadian banks, almost certainly accounts for the comparatively modest execution of the plate work.
