Description

This printing plate depicts an image of the signing of the Treaty of Watauga. The image is worn and not very clean but appears to show several men surrounding a table in an outdoor environment. Above and below the image is a band of text describing the treaty. The plate is made of lead and is attached to a wood base. Stamped on one of the long sides are the words, "George H. Honig, Sculptor / A member of Historical Research (?) and Reference Committee of the Indiana Lincoln ….(?). Handwritten next to that is, "209 Locust St / Evansville / 2nd." Wide strips of paper are adhered to the back. They are covering-up some writing on the back.
