content: This proof sheet for $10-10-10-20 national bank notes was approved on December 30, 1901 by the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The designs for the faces of these bills for the Series of 1882 were retained from the original series or charter for national bank notes that began during the Civil War in 1863. For the ten dollar note, Franklin is depicted on the left flying a kite and Liberty on the right holding a bolt of electricity. For the twenty dollar note, the Battle of Lexington is on the left with Columbia leading a procession on the right. Don Kelly in the third edition of his book National Bank Notes(1997) reports that this bank was chartered in December 1901. His census further reports that seven large size and twelve small size notes from after 1929 are known to collectors. In addition, an uncut sheet of large size notes is also recorded in the census. That sheet probably would have been delivered to the bank and, unlike the certified proof sheet illustrated here retained at BEP, would also include the Treasury Seal, serial numbers, and probably the signatures of two officials from the First National Bank of Live Oak, Florida.
