Series of eleven satiric pieces with verse by sketch artist George D. Brewerton critical of the revenue systems instituted during the Civil War, particularly paper money. Satires depict montages and layouts of banknotes, coinage, and revenue stamps to mock the Revenue Act of 1862, which instituted revenue stamps, the National Banking Acts of 1863 and 1864, which promoted a national banking system; and the dubious value of Union and Confederate banknotes.
