The Bank of Howardsville in Howardsville, Virginia, provides an example of a bank that simply ripped off a vignette commissioned by a Northern bank to portray slavery in a positive light. The bank's fifty dollar note is displayed above. It shows the same vignette in its bottom right corner, but, here, the farmer's skin has been colored in and a patch has been added to the sleeve of his shirt, signifying his slave status. The slave seems to be posing for the engraving, smiling at the artist. His posture gives off the impression that he enjoys his work, completing it with an enthusiastic energy. This note describes exactly the type of blatant effort to suppress negative perceptions of slavery that Michael O'Malley and Richard Doty uncovered.
