label: Description
content: In 1863 the U.S. issued its first national notes and decided to feature historically themed paintings from the Capitol Rotunda on the reverse. The paintings were shrunk from their original size of twelve by eight feet to a mere four-and-a-half by two-and-a-half inches, but maintained the detail and quality of the paintings. This decision converted national treasures into national currency.
label: Description
content: John Trumbull painted four of the eight paintings in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. His paintings <i>Surrender of General Burgoyne</i> and <i>Declaration of Independence</i> are featured on the reverse of the first 100 dollar and 500 dollar national notes.
