Daniel Appleton is named here as the sitter, and his life is worth knowing because he founded the New York publishing house that became D. Appleton & Company, one of the best-known American publishers of the nineteenth century. This engraving reproduces a painting by Charles L. Elliott, a New York portraitist who worked in the same circles as many of the city's merchants and professional men of the period. The engraver, W.E. Marshall, translated Elliott's oil portrait into a black-and-white print, a common way for portraits of prominent figures to reach a wider public before photography. The record does not include a date for the print, so its exact year of issue is uncertain.
