George M. Bibb
George M. Bibb (October 30, 1776 – April 4, 1859) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the seventeenth United States secretary of the treasury from 1844 to 1845. He was also Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, and twice represented Kentucky as a U.S. senator, serving from 1811 to 1814 and from 1829 to 1835. This line engraving of Bibb was produced around 1902 by the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) as part of a BEP presentation album of the first 42 secretaries of the treasury.Engraving credit: Bureau of Engraving and Printing; restored by Andrew Shiva
