Large leatherbound album, 10 x 11, containing affixed carte-de-visite–sized photos of the delegates to the New York Constitutional Convention of 1867, signed inside by nearly the entire group, including: William A. Wheeler, William M. Evarts, Horace Greeley, Samuel J. Tilden, Edwards Pierrepont, Theodore W. Dwight, and over one hundred other delegates. Covers are worn and detached, and the spine missing, however the interior signed pages are in fine condition. The state of New York adopted a modified constitution at this convention, by which the New York Court of Appeals was reorganized and term lengths for justices adjusted. A rarely seen historical piece.
