The inside of the card has a vellum insert over the engraved-in-
gold editorial copy. The presidential seal is engraved above the
words in gold. Spiro and Judy Agnew's names are their
engraved signatures.

building's history and character, as well as a brief bio of the
artist who did the painting.
The card is in mint condition with absolutely no marks or creases.

corners or any sign of age or wear.
