| Anmerkungen |
The West River Bank operated out of Jamaica, Vermont — a small hill town with no particular commercial weight, which made it exactly the kind of institution the Suffolk System was designed to discipline. Boston's Suffolk Bank had spent decades pressuring rural New England banks to maintain specie reserves or face note redemption at a discount, and by 1860 the system was fraying, with the Suffolk's authority actively contested by the newly formed Bank of Mutual Redemption.
The dual printer credit here is not unusual for the period — Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson plates were frequently acquired or reused by successor firms, and the New England Bank Note Company incorporated much of that earlier work into its own production runs.
