$1 Banknote from Virginia

Carl Buergerniss

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a Virginia Treasury Note at the top with a banner below it. The treasury note is beige and grey with red accents on the number "1" and the text. Below the note is a small scroll or banner with frayed edges that reads "Dixie 1861-1865 Philadelphia 07 B.P.O.E. 867 Winchester VA" in red lettering. The scroll is hanging from the note with metal hooks and a brown pipe. The colors used are beige, grey, red, and brown against a light background. The treasury note is at the top, with the banner suspended underneath, resulting in a vertical layout.
