This engraving portrays John Bayard (1738-1807), and it was made to illustrate *The Evangelical Intelligencer*, a religious periodical. Portrait engravings like this one were a common feature of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century magazines, which used them to put a recognizable face to the men whose lives and work they discussed. The caption card records no date for the print, so its exact year of production is unconfirmed, and the sitter's identification rests on the card's notes, which have not been independently verified.
