To my aging eyes it looks the same as the facsimiles produced in 1891 by New York's Huber Museum and sold to the public for $1.00. I didn't realize these had special value.

It is a Huber's museum copy. Someone must have donated a copy to the LOC for it's historical value. The LOC also has a copy by Huber's competitor Michael Tobin, submitted by Tobin himself when he applied for a copyright for his lithograph.
