The inventory breaks down the materials into the following groups 1. Images of famous people, mostly Americans (with some British); 2. Images of American Presidents; 3. Scenes, mostly from the Civil War; 4. Foreign personalities (mostly European; includes some late 17th?-C etchings); 5. Unidentified (about 100); and 6. Title pages. The collection also includes a bound set of the National Portrait Gallery.
