Visual Materials
The Jonathan D. Bulkley collection of illustrated billheads and letterheads contains about 36,000 billheads, letterheads, flyers, and other ephemera relating to commerce and industry in the United States from 1758 to 1952, with the bulk of the items dating from 1840 to 1910. While most of the items document products or services manufactured by American companies, countries such as Cuba, France, Great Britain, Germany, and Mexico are represented as well. Imagery and text on the materials pertain to the history of production, finance, consumerism, and advertising. Many of the items include graphic logos, decorative images of views of storefronts and factories, and detailed representations of the various products manufactured for sale. Typography on the materials also include visual motifs of varying text styles and printing techniques. The collection contains items that are both engraved, as well as lithographed. Some of the recurrent printers and lithographers of items in the collection include: Baldwin & Gleason Co.; Geo. D. Barnard & Co.; Britton & Rey; J.H. Bufford's Sons; Calvert Lithography Co.; Clay & Richmond; Cosack & Company; H.S. Crocker & Co.; George F. Frauenberger; Fuchs & Lang Manufacturing Co.; A. Gast & Co.; Gies & Co.; Gillies Lithographing and Printing Co.; Heinecke-Fiegel Lithographing Co.; Henderson Lithographing Co.; A. Hoen & Co.; Krebs Lithographing Co.; Charles Magnus & Co.; Mayer & Merkel; W.J. Morgan & Co.; J. Ottmann Lithographing Co.; Henry Seibert & Brothers; Sage, Sons & Co.; and Sarony, Major & Knapp.

Manuscripts
This collection is arranged in two parts--Manuscripts and Correspondence. While the bulk of the collection contains questionnaires ("Modele de La Formule No. 4") and surveys ("Liste No. II") written in French, select materials contain correspondence, publication announcements, and various drafts of Green's publication of Andrea Alciati and His Books of Emblems: A Biographical and Bibliographical Study, which was later published in 1872. Museums, university libraries, public libraries, personal libraries, and other institutions throughout Europe and the United States responded to Green's request to locate such materials. Such organizations included the Hague Royal Library, the Sir William Stirling-Maxwell Library, the Cambridge University Library, the Coppenhagen Royal Library, the Amiens Library, the Royal Library of the University of Turin, the Leuven University Library, and much more. Recipients who acted as the liaisons for the aforementioned repositories included modern emblem specialists (G.S. Cautley and Sir William Stirling-Maxwell), librarians, and library staff. Since a large extent of the materials received were written in English, French, German, and Italian, different spelling variation of the name Andrea Alciati were used including Andreas Alciatus and Andrea Aliciato.
