U.S. Treasury Specimen Vignette Book. Large oblong octavo, near quarto, 25cm by 18cm by 5cm. Rebound in red cloth with brown leather spine. The title page states "U.S. Treasury Department, Specimens. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Washington. Geo. B. McCaree, Chief of Bureau - Geo. W. Casilear Supt of Eng'sVc." Inside are 100 intaglio die proof vignettes, interleaved with tissue guards, on thick gilt edged cards. There are 45 portraits, 7 famous buildings, and 48 vignettes on general subjects including historical titles. Several of these engravings appear on Federal currency, bonds, or Treasury forms. The first portrait in the book is of U. S. Grant; President at the time this book was created. From the terms of service of the Treasury officials listed on the title page, we may safely conclude the book was assembled in the mid 1870s. A partial list of the engravings includes Grant, Boutwell, Van Buren, Clay, Chase, Garrett, Taylor, Madison, Harrison, Silas Wright, Stanton, Lincoln, Wolcott, Jackson, Webster, Jefferson, Washington, McCulloch, Burlingame, Adams, Belknap, Cisco, Dix, Hamilton, Douglas, Benton, Mansfield, Baker, Andrew, Scott, Spinner, Farragut, The Capitol, The Treasury, Patent Office, Ships, Valley Forge, The Guardian, In The Turret, Columbus Discovery of Land, The Smokers, The Standard Bearer, The Pioneer, Victory, Return of Peace, Reconstruction, Caduceus, Loyalty, Mortar Firing, Farmer and Mechanic, Sound Steamboat, Launching Through the Surf, Mississippi Steamboat, Harvesting, Seeding and Ginning, New Ironsides. The interior die proof cards and tissue guards show light to moderate age toning, but most of the actual vignettes are quite atttractive. While the cover may not be impressive, the vignette selection is excellent, and just viewing this book will be a highly pleasurable experience. A great opportunity for anyone who collects bank note engravings.

[Virginia]. Jefferson, Thomas: Notes on the State of Virginia. First Hot-Pressed Edition. Philadelphia; John Thompson printer for R.T. Rawles, June 1801. Octavo, modern full, dark brown calf, gilt-ruled spine, red label, raised bands; frontispiece portrait, folding map, and chart listing Indian tribes. Published shortly after his inauguration as President, "Notes on the State of Virginia" established Jefferson's contemporary reputation as a universal scholar and as a pioneering American scientist. The book was largely written in 1781 and published in Paris, in French, in 1785. Jefferson's appendix, written in 1797 was then added. The Rawle's 1801 edition is considered to be the best edition of this important work of Jefferson's. With "eye-draught" plate of Madison's Cave instead of the Natural Bridge. Owner title page and flyleaf signatures. Small hole to title page as a result of an attempt to remove the owner signature. Repair done with archival tape to hinge of the large folding map and top inner corner of two preliminary leaves. Some foxing and minor damp-staining to early leaves, then only occasional light foxing, minor off-setting to map. Attractively bound, Very Good.

1791 Washington Small Eagle Cent. Breen-1218. PCGS MS63BN. Seeking to win a contract from the young U.S. government to produce copper coinage, the firm of W. and Alexander Walker of Birmingham, England commissioned John Gregory Hancock to design a Cent. His efforts resulted in what we now call large and small eagle Washington Cents. George Washington rejected the idea of having his portrait on a coin and loathed the notion of contract minting. A cask of these coins, though, had been shipped to the firm's associate in Philadelphia and it is believed 4,000 pieces entered circulation, of which 1,500 were small eagles.
