I have purchased a print published by W. Pate 16 Burling Slip
NY....entitled "Key to the Union."
There are 23 sketches of the faces of such people as Hon. Jas. McDowell of
VA., Maj. Gen Winfield Scott, Abraham Lincoln, Hon. Henry Clay of KY. as
well as men from Ohio, IN, DE, MI.

I am interested as to why this print was generated and by whom.  It could
also use some restoration to prevent further deterioration and I could use
a resource for a restorer.

In the 1880 census of Brooklyn a Wm. Pate is listed as importer and
publisher of engravings.
I have learned that William Pate probably immigrated to the US by 1845.
Any further info would be greatly appreciated.
Mitzie
