Amasa and Freman[sic] Walker i. Very good condition, with old glue and paper residue on verso. The image is sharp, and all the more interesting in that it was found with his Civil War tract, arguing, in part, for funding the war through the National Debt. It wasn't identified, one might think it were trick photography, given the brothers' resemblance. DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, JANUARY 15, 1863.

Printed self-wrappers, 8 pages [staples perished]. Modern owner's ink name in upper margin of title leaf. Quite soiled, stained, worn, chipping on spine (staples perished), &c.
