Men of mark : a gallery of contemporary portraits of men distinguished in the senate, the church, in science, literature and art, the army, navy, law, medicine, etc.
Men of Mark is a Victorian biographical book of photographic portraits of notable British men, made by the photographers Lock & Whitfield with commentary by Cooper Thompson, published in London in 1876 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington for a general readership. The pictures here are not portraits but horizontal ornamental strips of scrolling foliage, urns, and vases in fine line engraving, showing dense symmetrical border designs a designer could adapt for frames, panels, or decorative bands.
