Scattered tears and marks to outer edges and corners. Darkened spots and marks to verso, else near fine. Bold text and color! Johnson became the 17th U.S. president, taking office in 1865 after Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

In 1868, he became the first president to be impeached but was acquitted by one vote. This ticket admitted to the bearer to the senate gallery on March 31, 1868, to observe the impeachment proceedings in relation to Andrew Johnson. Tickets were color coded based on date.
