About This Print: This engraving originates from the late 19th-century illustrated historical series Great Men and Famous Women, published during the Victorian era (c. 1890s). This is an original antique engraving printed at the time of publication — not a modern reproduction or later reprint. Normal age toning and minor edge wear are consistent with antique paper of this period.
