This is a page from a book on the signers of the Declaration of Independence. At the top is a reproduction of a portrait of Benjamin Harrison, bust to the right, square in a twig-like engraver's border. In the center of the page is a facsimilie copy of a letter. At the bottom is a reproduction of a scene of a house and out building with a body of water in the foreground which is labeled: Res. of Benjamin Harrison, Berkeley, Va., in the possession of F. J. Dreer, Esq. The scene of the house is oval with same twig-like engraver's border. The number "263" has been stamped near the upper right hand corner.

The portrait may be an engraving after a miniature attributed to Henry Benbridge or perhaps a photomechanical reproduction of the miniature itself.
