This steel engraving portrait shows the English historian James Anthony Froude, and it was made for *The Eclectic*, a New York periodical that reprinted essays and articles from British journals for American readers. The engraver, George E. Perine, worked in New York, so the plate reflects the city's active trade in magazine illustration during the 1860s. Froude was then known for his multivolume *History of England*, which covered the Tudor period and drew both praise and controversy. Portraits like this one helped introduce British writers to American audiences before photographic reproduction became common.
