The title points to a memorial built around Confederate paper money, a subject that begins with the notes themselves. The Confederate States government issued these notes during the Civil War, and as Union advances mounted and the southern economy collapsed, many lost nearly all their value. Because the record gives no date and the name on its shelflist card is unverified, the print is best read through its subject and the postwar decades, when monuments and memorials to the Confederacy were widely produced.
