The caption card identifies the sitter only as Henry Blackwell, and the print carries no date, so its circumstances remain uncertain. It comes from the Blackwell Family Papers, a collection tied to a family active in nineteenth-century reform. The name most often linked to this family is Henry Browne Blackwell (1825–1909), an abolitionist and women's suffrage advocate who married the lecturer Lucy Stone in 1855 and later worked on the *Woman's Journal*. That link is a likely match rather than a confirmed identification.
