John Henry Newman, the English churchman and writer who converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism in 1845 and was made a cardinal in 1879, is the subject here, though the caption card gives no date for the portrait itself. Newman was known for his scholarship, his Apologia pro Vita Sua, and his influential writing on education and faith, and he lived into his late eighties, so portraits of him span several decades of his later life. The card's date range is a useful clue to his age and public stature, while the photographer and original sitting remain unrecorded. Note that the identifying details come from an old, unverified caption, so the attribution is worth checking against other sources.
