Treasurer Clint Zweifel studies the work of George Caleb Bingham recently installed in his office.		State Treasurer Clint Zweifel's office has received five framed reproductions of artwork by George Caleb Bingham on loan from the State Historical Society of Missouri where the originals are housed. Bingham, a former State Treasurer (1862-1865), is one of America's most important 19th-Century artists. His paintings hang in esteemed galleries such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery and the White House.

Reproductions of four hand-colored engravings - "Canvassing for a Vote", "Stump Speaking", "County Election" and "Verdict of the People" now hang in Treasurer Zweifel's reception area. A reproduction of the painting "Martial Law, or Order Number 11" hangs in Treasurer Zweifel's personal office. The public is encouraged to visit Treasurer Zweifel's office in the Missouri State Capitol, Room 229, to view these beautiful pieces of Missouri history.
