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, with its frontispiece and plates reproducing period portraits of Marshall and his contemporaries. The four pictures shown are halftone reproductions of oil portraits of men in dark coats and white neckcloths, with plain backgrounds and captions set below in small capitals. A designer could take from them a restrained, formal style of early American portraiture and the soft tonal range of halftone printing.
