Engraved around 1898 and credited to a painting by Dequevanillier, this portrait shows Thomas Jefferson, the third president and principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Late nineteenth-century engravings like this one were widely reproduced for schoolbooks, parlors, and patriotic displays, turning older painted likenesses into inexpensive images. The record's details come from an old caption card and have not been fully verified, so the source painting and the publisher are best confirmed against the original catalog entry. Jefferson's features in such prints usually followed portraits made during his lifetime, so the image shows how later Americans chose to remember him.
