| 表面の説明 | The obverse is executed in finely detailed intaglio engraving on white paper. A large allegorical vignette at the left margin shows classical figures with a coastal landscape, with rabbits in the foreground, all rendered in the ornate Victorian style typical of Perkins, Bacon work. The upper centre bears the bank title 'DOUGLAS & ISLE OF MAN BANK' surmounted by a royal arms cartouche flanked by a lion and unicorn, with serial numbers printed at upper left and right, and the promise-to-pay text and denomination 'ONE POUND' inscribed in the central panel; an overprint in red reads 'DUMBELL'S BANKING COMPANY LIMITED' vertically at left. |

Dumbell's Banking Company was one of the Isle of Man's most prominent private banks through the nineteenth century — and one of its most catastrophic failures. The bank collapsed in February 1900 in circumstances that devastated the island's economy, wiping out the savings of thousands of depositors. Notes from the 1875 series predate that disaster by a quarter century, issued at the height of the bank's apparent prosperity.
Perkins, Bacon printed the plates using their signature steel-engraving process, the same security technique they applied to postage stamps across the British Empire. The Pick number 141 designation reflects extreme rarity — surviving examples from this issue are genuinely uncommon, most lost to the redemption chaos that followed the 1900 collapse.
