This is similar to a print created by the lithographer Antoine Maurin in Paris by Pierre Langlume between 1825-1829. The image depicts the first six Presidents of the United States: Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and John Quincy Adams [see the Maurin version in the collection of the Library of Congress]. The eagle with the banner - E Pluribus Unum - is surrounded by 24 stars that represent the states of the union at that time. Threads of History #70 - that states this is the earliest issue.
