Report on the progress and condition of the United States National Museum
An annual government report of the United States National Museum, published in Washington by the Government Printing Office in 1907 and issued under the Smithsonian Institution for the public and Congress. Its one picture is a circular seal showing a globe of the Western Hemisphere flanked by two torches, with the text 'for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men' and 'Smithsonian Institution Washington 1846'. A designer could draw on its bold radial lettering, ring of dots, and torch-and-globe emblem for institutional or heraldic marks.
