Thomas Jefferson appears here in a head-and-shoulders engraving shown in profile, facing right, a format engravers often used for portraits meant to circulate as book frontispieces or loose prints. Jefferson, the third president and principal author of the Declaration of Independence, was among the most widely reproduced figures of his era, and images like this one helped fix his appearance for readers in the early republic. Compare the sharp linework and the classical cut of his coat and collar with later painted portraits to see how engravers translated a likeness into a reproducible image.
