Description

Scarce, large lithograph portrait of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the renowned American poet, printed in 1875.

The work, signed in the matrix by J. Baker, captures Longfellow in his later years, characterized by his thoughtful expression and full beard. The portrait conveys a sense of introspection, with Longfellow's hand resting against his chin.

The portrait is after a photograph of Longfellow taken by Elliott & Fry.

The lithograph was produced by Armstrong & Co. Lithographers in Boston, and it bears the copyright of H.O. Houghton & Co.
