Philadelphia, PA. "Specimen of an Improved Method of Engraving Bank Notes", by Tanner, Kearny & Tiebout, Seated allegorical woman by shoreline with ship in the background, "Patent" in left counterfoil, Printed thin india type of paper mounted on thin manila card. Uncirculated with extremely light foxing. This three-partner imprint was very short-lived, but in that period the firm engraved and printed some beautiful banknotes. Benjamin Tanner may have studied with Peter Maverick and created some large plate engravings of War of 1812 scenes. Francis Kearny, supposedly the nephew of hero Commodore Lawrence, went back into private engraving in 1820. Cornelius Tiebout studied in London with James Heath. An India paper proof, printed to thin, wide margined card stock by Rogers & Estler (their imprint under the frame line). Flanking are oval dies with "T.K.& T." left and "B.N.E." at right. One of the earliest engraving company sample notes known.(Ex - Eric P. Newman Collection, Heritage Auction #3568)
