Little Rock Arkansas was no exception, issuing notes before and after the Civil War. This note issue from 1873 has a couple of feminine vignettes that are well known with collectors of American Banknote printed currency - these vignettes were stock images that were used from the late 1850&#039;s until the early 20th century on some foreign notes. One thing that linked most &quot;evasion&quot; notes from this era is that they often bore a striking resemblance to federally issued currency - no doubt to give some credence to the issue.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b></b><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/usa/obsoletes/obslittlerockar11873dtl1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>This young miss has a fascinating portraiture, with her little rabbit adding to the tenderness of the vignette.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b></b><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/usa/obsoletes/obslittlerockar11873dtl2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>And this young lady with her posies also appeared on many notes in the USA and in foreign lands.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
