Not on view

This cancelled proof of a $1000 bill issued by the Greenwich Bank in New York was engraved by Asher B. Durand. At the start of his career he worked as an engraver, successfully engraving John Trumbull's "Declaration of Independence" in 1823, and then receiving commissions for banknotes, landscapes and portraits. In 1837 Thomas Cole persuaded Durand to focus on painting and he began to paint portraits, genre scenes and landscapes, eventually becoming a leader of the Hudson River School.
