A very handsome production created especially to issue to guests attending the "Opening of the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington at Mount Vernon" in 2013.
It contains a very fine facsimile edition of George Washington's personal copy of Acts Passed at a Congress of the United States of America bound in paper covered boards designed to mimic speckled calf with a leather label stamped "President of the United States," marbled endpapers, and a facsimile of President Washington's bookplate on the pastedown.
The volume itself is then housed in a blue suede clamshell box, with a facsimile of the plate for the Washington Bookplate laid down and stamped "Acts Passed at the First Congress of the United States 1789". No sleeve.
A splendid memento of an important event in Washington studies.
