DescriptionImage (.a): Studio portrait of a man wearing a coat, vest, shirt, necktie, and trousers. He has a beard. His left elbow is resting on a table covered with a tablecloth. A small book is nearby.
Case (.b): Front and back covers are stamped with an image of Israel Putnam on horseback, riding down a steep slope on what appear to be stone steps. A tree is at the left. A building with a tower, probably a church with a steeple, is on the hill in the background. A rocky cliff is at the right. The design is surrounded by a cartouche with a border of stylized leaves and flowers.
Pad: Red velvet stamped with a flower with five petals, surrounded by scrolls of stylized leaves.
