| Comments |
Payot, Upham & Co. handled a notable share of Latin American government printing from their San Francisco operation in the latter half of the nineteenth century, positioning themselves as a regional alternative to the established eastern firms and European houses. Nicaragua's Tesoro Nacional turned to them repeatedly during the 1890s for this series.
The firm ceased operations in 1906, which makes provenance attribution on undated or ambiguously dated Central American fiscal paper from this period worth attention — their output is sometimes misattributed to competitors.
