Transcription:
Wilhelm Meinhold, Sidonia the Sorceress, 1893.
Translated by Francesca Speranza, Lady Wilde.
Sidonia von Borcke (1548–1620) was a Pomeranian noblewoman who gained the enmity of various relatives she sued, several prioresses at the local abbey, and court-appointed officials brought in to investigate. Tried for witchcraft, she was sentenced to death by beheading and subsequent burning. Posthumously, she has been portrayed as a femme fatale. Oscar Wilde’s mother translated into English a mid-19th century German novel about Sidonia, which William Morris printed in a limited edition at the famed Kelmscott Press. The Pre-Raphaelites became fascinated by her. Several created paintings based on the novel, the most famous of which was by Edward Burne-Jones (shown here), depicting the young Sidonia and her aged counterpart just before her execution.

[Northern Indiana Normal and Business Institute, Obsolete Scrip]
Date: Circa 1875-1900
Source Type: Obsolete Scrip
Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Unknown
Postmark: Not Applicable
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: The Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute, which operated from 1873 through 1900, later to be renamed Valparaiso College in 1900, and then renamed again as Valparaiso University in 1906, issued scrip as a form of trade. The Institute is known to have issued scrip in denominations of 1¢, 2¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, $1, $2, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1,000, and $5,000, which was backed by its deposits fictitiously held in the First National Bank located in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, or the Merchants Commercial Bank of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. This represents an example of an circulated $2 scrip note.
Schingoethe and Schingoethe (1993) do not list an example of this scrip. Given that this scrip is unlisted in Schingoethe, it is assumed it has a rarity of R7, indicating that only one to four examples of this scrip are known to exist.
