George Washington Silhouette and Two Southern Civil War Banknotes

as follows: the Washington portrait in uniform and possibly mid-20th century (framed 5-1/2 x 4-3/4 in.) (chips to frame); plus... the notes, both uniface, include the popular T-30 $10 Confederate note illustrated with the famous vignette of General Francis Marion offering a sweet potato supper to a visiting British officer, while the North Carolina note carries the odd denomination of 75¢ (both notes in fine condition with minimal creasing).


From the Collection of the late Sterling Boyd, Raleigh, North Carolina
Sterling Boyd was a consummate collector and Southern gentleman. Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, he studied art history at Sewanee: The University of the South, Oberlin College, and received his doctorate from Princeton University. He shared his enthusiasm for the fine arts through positions at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond and the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Boyd also taught and mentored future art historians at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, and later headed the art department at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. Following his academic and museum careers, Sterling Boyd channeled his talents for interior design and decoration. His Raleigh apartment was a cabinet of curiosities, each item carefully collected from his world travels and perfectly placed in his jewel box of a home.
