14. All penalties shall be proportioned to the nature of the offense, the true design of all punishments being to reform, not to exterminate mankind.

The Presidential Papers Collection of Joseph and Lucille Block
For over 60 years, Joseph and Lucille Block collected presidential letters, portraits, and other ephemera and displayed them on the walls of their downtown Chicago home. Upon their deaths in 2005, the Blocks bequeathed the documents to the Illinois State Historical Society and the Chicago Museum of History. After an inspection and treatment to repair minor tears and other irregularities, the ISHS requested and received funding from the Illinois Humanities Council to prepare the ISHS portion of the documents for display at local history museums.
The ISHS Block documents include photographs, cartoons, and documents signed by 13 US Presidents from Madison to Coolidge, including six from Abraham Lincoln.
