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 title marked on the block is "Sutoo Costume, Nov 29 44." It appears to have been a replacement block that was only proofed.
