Here is the official description of the exhibit from the U.S. Government publication, “Participation in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition,” 1910, p.30.
 
“The principal feature of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing exhibit was a printing press in operation, the methods of plate printing as used by the United States being fully demonstrated by expert Government workmen. Specimen prints were made from engraved steel plates, showing portraits of the President and Vice President, the American eagle, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Abe ) the U. S. S. Nebraska, and a special commemorative design especially prepared for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. “The bureau also exhibited engraved portraits and vignettes, including a complete set of the Presidents of the United States, Secretaries of the Treasury, and a number of fine vignettes used on notes and securities; bonds, notes, certificates, and other obligations issued by the United States, showing all of the processes from the blank paper to the finished article; internal-revenue stamps, postage stamps, including the latest issues, and notes and stamps prepared for Cuba and the insular possessions.”
