About the author

The United States Government Printing Office was created by Congress in 1860 to centralize federal printing, and it officially began operations on March 4, 1861. For more than 150 years, it handled the printing and binding of many of the federal government's most important publications, including congressional materials, agency reports, and other public documents.

In 2014, Congress changed its name to the U.S. Government Publishing Office to reflect how the agency's role had expanded beyond print into digital publishing and online access. Today, it remains closely associated with the long history of preserving and distributing official government information.

Because this is a government agency rather than an individual author, a personal portrait image is not applicable here.
