Historical Engraving of 19th-Century Gentleman - Public Domain Portrait #3859239 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white engraving depicts an older gentleman with receding dark hair, a prominent mustache, deep-set eyes, and a contemplative gaze. He wears a high-collared shirt, bow tie, and formal jacket, typical of Victorian-era professional or academic attire; the fine linework suggests it was published in a periodical or biography circa 1850-1880. The shading uses dense cross-hatching and stippling to convey texture and depth, characteristic of 19th-century print illustration.

Commonly used in digital archives, history blogs, educational resources, or museum exhibits to illustrate biographical entries or social commentary from the 19th century; serves users seeking authentic visual references for historical figures or printing techniques.
