The British Linen Bank — formally the British Linen Company — began as a textile trading concern chartered in 1746, and didn't drop the word "linen" from its name until 1906, well after its commercial origins had become purely historical. By 1910 it was a full-service Scottish clearing bank, but the anachronistic name persisted until its absorption into the Bank of Scotland in 1969.
Waterlow & Sons had a long relationship with Scottish provincial issuers, and their engraved work for the British Linen Bank is among the more technically accomplished of the Edwardian period. Scottish private note issue survived the Bank Charter Act of 1844 intact — an exemption that allowed banks like this one to continue circulating their own paper well into the twentieth century.
