This engraving shows Chandler Robbins Gilman in a bust-length view, turned to the left. Its record dates it to the 1860s, a decade when engraved portraits like this one were a common way to spread a sitter's likeness through books, periodicals, and separate prints. Engravers of the period built tone from fine parallel lines, so the face, hair, and clothing show up through shading rather than color. The record does not name the engraver or the source image, but the format suggests a portrait meant to be recognized and kept.
