(Presidents of the United States) Engraving, “THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES” 18 1/2 x 13 1/2 in. (Boston: Charles A. Wakefield, 1842) Designed by C. H. H. Billings and engraved by D. Kimberly. A fine rendering of the first ten men to hold the office of the President including John Tyler. Tyler was often derided as the “Acting President” as he was the first vice president to succeed to the presidency (on the death of William Henry Harrison in 1841 after only a month in office).

Very light scattered foxing, affixed to a slightly larger sheet that is toned at margins but well clear of image, else very good.
