A county history of Cass County, Illinois, edited by William Henry Perrin and published by O. L. Baskin & Co. in 1882 for local subscribers whose portraits and farms paid for the volume. The plates are stipple-and-lithograph bust portraits of bearded men in dark coats and high collars, each set in a ruled frame above an engraved facsimile signature, useful for period faces, collar and beard types, and handwritten name lettering.
