Anmerkungen	The Franklin Bank of Boston was chartered in 1825 and operated during a period when Massachusetts bank charters were relatively easy to obtain and correspondingly easy to abuse. By the early 1830s, the Boston banking scene was crowded with institutions of wildly varying soundness, and the Franklin Bank itself was not among the most robust — it failed in 1833, just two years after this note's issue date, leaving holders scrambling during a period when specie redemption was already contentious across New England. J. Drake was an active Boston-area engraver and plate maker working in the ornamental bank note trade before the major security printers consolidated the industry later in the decade.
