A beautifully prepared bound presentation volume in full Morocco. The covers are subtle blue-green, while the spine has toned slightly to deep olive. 6.25 x 7.75 inches. Gilt ornaments on the cover and spine, which is divided into six panels, two of which bear the gilt titles. The second panel reads, "PORTRAITS AND VIGNETTES", while the fourth is impressed with "ENGRAVED BY THE BUREAU OF PRINTING AND ENGRAVING". Some wear to the cover edges and corner tips worn through, but completely intact and respectably tight otherwise. The portraits are of government officials, including Presidents Washington through Chester Arthur who left office as the end of 1886, likely dating the volume to the mid-1880s. Also included are various Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, Secretaries of the Treasury, Secretaries of War, Secretaries of the Navy, Secretaries of the Interior, Postmasters General, Attorneys General, one Chief Justices and United States Senators. The portraits are clean and bright throughout with separation papers to protect them bound in. Marbled inside covers, that of the front partially separated, and gilt page edges. The final fifth of the volume shows a bit of light waterstaining on the lower right corners of the pages, increasing toward the back. However, on no page does this affect the portrait and it is thus of precious little consequence on this fine book. Scarce and quite desirable. Offered here to a numismatic audience for the first time.，
