Original acrostics on all the states and presidents of the United States, and various other subjects, religious, political, and personal ; illustrated with portraits of all the presidents, and engravings of various other kinds
A Nashville, Tennessee book of 1861 by Robert Blackwell, a poet publishing for himself, containing acrostic verses on the states and presidents of the United States, with the subjects also covering religion, politics and personal matters. Its pictures are small oval wood engravings of presidential portraits framed in laurel wreaths above a spread-winged eagle, plus a shield-like seal with a motto banner, showing how a designer might build a patriotic frame around a central portrait.
