The BEP was selling prints of their portraits and vignettes on a limited basis as early as 1880. At that time, prints could be obtained for as little as 5¢ each, if requested by a library or an art association. Broader sales to the general public began in the 1950s, when the BEP made specific engravings available in quantity. Portraits of presidents and chief justices were offered, along with vignettes of government buildings and monuments. Most recently the Landmarks of Distinction vignette set was produced. All engraved cards except for the Landmarks were printed on white card stock in black ink. Dates indicate the approximate years these cards went on sale, though many engravings were produced much earlier.
