This is a Proof obverse impression of the one dollar Educational Note, Series of 1895. The series was not actually issued for circulation until 1896. This Proof is complete, with signatures, lacks only serial numbers and the Treasury seal. The design appears virtually identical to that issued in 1896. This design was prepared by Will H. Low with engraving by Charles Schlecht.
The central vignette or design is titled "History Instructing Youth." The border of this design includes 23 continuous wreaths, each enclosing the name of a famous American historical figure.

Purchased 12/16/1971 from Mrs. Louise Entriken (Schermerhorn).
