"[The book contains] one medal engraving from a daguerreotype, by Joseph Saxton, of the front of the Mint, using a medal ruling machine, to copy a relief executed by Christian Gobrecht from the daguerreotype...This book is considered the first publication from a daguerreotype in the United States. A remarkable example of this little used process and of major importance in the history of photography and photomechanical printing in the United States. Joseph Saxton not only produced the oldest extant daguerreotype now in the United States, but also invented the modification to the ruling machine used for this publication."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 8.
