content: This proof sheet for $10-10-10-20 national bank notes was approved on December 18, 1890 by the Chief 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. The vignettes were selected for scenes that would have widespread or national appeal during that time of conflict.
