Bidwell, American History in Image and Text (Worcester: AAS, 1988), no. 16, note. First published in this format in 1838, this copy is a "Redating [of] the copyright statement of Franklin Print Co. to 1841, in a different border although similar in style, with the portraits engraved in more detail and rearranged to accomodate a portrait of William Henry Harrison in the place of the national seal." Engraved by D. Kimberly. The Lettering by J.B. Bolton. Bidwell contains a full page reproduction of the 1838 version, which is very similar. Both are based on Trumbull's engraving, with calligraphic scripts. Seller ID: 69421 Subject: Americana We are a Washington, D.C. based bookstore in business for over 40 years.
