Sandra F. Sheskin, featured on the cover of the July 1962 issue of the Department of State Newsletter (later State Magazine), impresses the Great Seal of the United States on a presidential commission. The Great Seal, which celebrated its 240th anniversary as a symbol of the nation’s sovereignty, June 20, is still in use today. The Presidential Appointments Office imprints more than 1,000 seals each year in the Harry S Truman Building Exhibit Hall.
