Biographical and historical sketches of early Indiana
Biographical and historical sketches of early Indiana is an 1883 Indianapolis volume by William Wesley Woollen, published by Hammond & Co. for readers interested in the state's early public men, with subjects including Freemasons, newspapers and governors. The four engraved portraits are formal head-and-shoulders studies of middle-aged men in dark coats, rendered in fine parallel hatching with soft vignetted edges, offering a designer a model of restrained nineteenth-century engraved portraiture.
