The full panels measure 15" x 7 1/4" and are probably the only copies known. The 16 subjects are Ethan Allen, Buffalo Bill, George Custer, Alexander Hamilton, Patrick Henry, Sam Houston, Stonewall Jackson, John Paul Jones, Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, Robert Peary, Molly Pitcher, King Phillip, Paul Revere, Sitting Bull and George Washington. Near Mint and rare!
