Biographical and historical sketches of early Indiana
A late nineteenth-century county-history style book, Biographical and historical sketches of early Indiana, written by William Wesley Woollen and published in Indianapolis in 1883 for readers interested in the state's pioneer figures and Freemasons. Its pictures are steel-engraved bust portraits of middle-aged men in dark coats, set against plain tinted ground with fine hatched shading, offering a designer models of formal Victorian portrait composition and engraved tonal modelling.
