EDITION SIZE: Average paper size 16 5/8 x 12 1/4" (42.3 x 31.2 cm).
DESCRIPTION: This photogravure is based on a lithographed silhouette from Brown's "Portrait Gallery of Distinguished American Citizens." Described as "one of the outstanding American silhouettists" in "America on Stone," Brown wandered the country executing full-length silhouette portraits of major public figures. He placed each into a landscape or interior background related to the individual. Most of the original 1845 edition, which were lithographs, was destroyed by fire, so they are quite scarce.
