London: Spink, 1994. This is from the dustwrapper: "This book is published as part of the official programme of the Bank of England to commemorate the Tercentenary of its foundation in 1694. Unique access was allowed to a wealth of hitherto unavailable material in the Banks Archive, relative to design, production, numbering, forgery, lost and damaged notes. The Banks priceless Museum collections, too, have been drawn on fully in the selection of the many illustrations in colour and black and white. The text follows a broadly chronological path along which the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street is seen to be forever striving to produce the ultimate medium of currency: the inimitable note. The story begins with issues in 1694 under the first Governor, Sir John Houblon, and ends fittingly with the £50 note in Series E which features Sir John on the reverse, thus completing the 300 year cycle of the Bank's "prormise to pay"." Blue cloth with silver lettering, decorated endpapers, well illustrated throughout in colour and black and white. 245 pages, 9 X 11 inches. Near fine book in a near fine dustwrapper..
