Leonard D. Gale's portrait was cut in wood by J. Enberg and ran in *The Century Magazine* in 1888, on page 930 of volume 35, according to its caption card. Engraved portraits like this were a common way for magazines of the period to put a face to a name, since halftone photo reproduction had not yet become standard in print. *Century* was one of the leading illustrated monthlies of its day, and its engravers worked to turn photographs or drawings into lines a printing press could carry. This record comes from an older caption entry and has not been independently checked.
