The"Educational Series," series of 1896 silver certificate
Considered by some numismatists to be the most beautiful monetary design ever produced by the United States.
“Electricity as the Dominant Force in the World” designed by Walter Shirlaw, an engraver, painter and muralist. At the center of this gorgeous note is winged female (Electricity) holding a light bulb. To her right is Jupiter riding in on a chariot while holding a lightning bolt that is energizing the light bulb. Next is Fame with a trumpet delivering sweet music over a map of the United States. To her right is a bald eagle standing guard of America and Washington D.C. (which can be seen in the background). Finally, to Electricity’s far right is Peace along with her dove – always the symbol of peace.
Controversy
The naked breasts of the female figures on the silver certificate reportedly caused some minor controversy when several Boston society ladies took offense to the design. Some bankers reportedly refused to accept the notes in transactions, and the term banned in Boston allegedly originates from the silver certificate. In response the Bureau of Engraving and Printing prepared a "draped" bosom vignette design for a proposed 1897 series. The redesign also included a highly modified front face but was never utilized.
Also for the first time in 1893, Bureau authorities invited a small group of outside artists and engravers to submit design proposals for the new series of notes. The presence of the outside group caused tremendous creative problems within the BEP. Great personality conflicts and jealousy could be one reason that although the design was approved in July 1894 the remaining two notes were not accepted until late 1895. At one point during the process BEP designer Thomas Morris resigned. Coupled with being banned in Boston the notes were quickly replaced by the Series of 1899 notes.
"Banned in Boston" was a phrase employed from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, to describe a literary work, song, motion picture, or play which had been prohibited from distribution or exhibition in Boston, Massachusetts. During this period, Boston officials had wide authority to ban works featuring "objectionable" content, and often banned works with sexual content or foul language.
