The life of John Marshall
A biography of the American jurist John Marshall, written by Albert J. Beveridge and published in Boston and New York by Houghton Mifflin in 1916, aimed at general readers interested in the early republic. The four pictures are oval and vignette-style portraits of 18th and early 19th century men in dark coats and white neckcloths, rendered as halftone reproductions of paintings, a miniature, and a stipple engraving, offering a designer a consistent period-portrait vocabulary of oval frames, soft grey tonal modelling, and plain formal dress.
