Anne Catharine Green was one of the few women operating a colonial press at this level — she had taken over the Maryland Gazette and the province's official printing contracts after her husband Jonas Green died in 1767, and the Annapolis operation she ran with her son Frederick held the Maryland Assembly's business through the Revolutionary period. Their imprint on colonial currency is rare for its clarity of attribution.
The nature print border — made by inking an actual leaf or plant material and pressing it directly onto the plate — was Benjamin Franklin's anti-counterfeiting innovation, adopted across several colonial emissions precisely because no hand engraver could replicate the cellular structure of a real leaf.
