The Bank of Ottawa was a relatively minor chartered bank operating out of Canada's new federal capital, and this 1880 issue reflects the period when Canadian chartered banks were still producing notes through American engravers almost exclusively — the domestic industry simply couldn't compete with ABNC's die work and security printing capabilities. Geo. Burn served as the bank's General Manager and James Maclaren as President during this period, a signature combination that anchors the note firmly within the bank's early operational years.
The Bank of Ottawa was eventually absorbed by the Bank of Nova Scotia in 1919. Notes from its earliest decades are genuinely scarce in any condition.
