notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This engraved wood block was likely prepared to print an image in the publication "The Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition, During the Years 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, 1842." The image was not published with any of the expedition volumes but is of the same style and subject as images in that publication. The block is not marked. It may have been prepared to be printed with "Samoan Pet Pigeon" Volume 2, page 162 (see also 1999.0145.111). The block was proofed.
