A specimen book issued in 1909 by the United States Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C., for the Document divisions, showing type faces alongside seals and cuts available to government printers. The pictures are numbered plates of official seals, including national eagle emblems, Navy and State Department seals, a library seal and a shield-and-anchor badge, rendered in crisp black line engraving that a designer could draw on for heraldic or governmental emblem work.
