In the nineteenth century, elaborate engravings, called vignettes, were created for U.S. financial notes, insurance policies and securities. The variety and intricacy of the vignette subjects exploded with some of the most elaborate designs ever seen on legal tender. The works of art then disappeared after U.S. Government paper currency was introduced in 1861.The images below come from the British Museum Prints Database. The image of the winged wand with snakes, known as Caduceus, is often associated with medicine but was the symbol of merchants and trade.
