This wood engraving shows Lajos Kossuth, the Hungarian leader who fled into exile after the failed 1848-49 revolution against Habsburg rule, at a cottage in Winchester, Virginia. Kossuth's 1851-52 tour of the United States drew enormous crowds and press attention, and illustrated weeklies such as Gleason's Pictorial often ran engravings of his stops. The record's date and location come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified, so the print is best read as a snapshot of the public fascination with Kossuth during that tour.
