Register of the commission and warrant officers of the Navy of the United States, including officers of the Marine Corps
A register of commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps, published in Washington, D.C. by the Secretary of the Navy in 1893 as an official roster for government use. The one picture is a patterned endpaper of repeated roundels, ship and building motifs, and lettering arranged in diagonal bands on a cream ground, with the library's stamp text; a designer could take its tight, repeating geometric layout as a source for border or background pattern work.
