John Henry Newman, the English churchman and writer, is the subject here, and the portrait shows him in his later years, after he had become a Catholic cardinal in 1879. The caption card gives no date, so the print's age is uncertain, though it likely dates from the 1880s, when Newman was widely photographed and his image circulated among admirers in Britain and America. Newman's writings, including the *Apologia Pro Vita Sua* and *The Idea of a University*, shaped Victorian debates about faith and learning, which helps explain why his likeness was so sought after.
