Portret van John Obadiah Westwood before 1867

This portrait of John Obadiah Westwood, M.A., F.L.S. was created before 1867 by English photographer Ernest Edwards (1837-1903). The image depicts Westwood seated in a chair and holding a book, a common pose used in portrait photography of the era, creating a formal and dignified presentation of the sitter. The small size of the image, measuring 87 mm by 68 mm, suggests it may have been a personal portrait or a reproduction from a larger original. This portrait captures Westwood's refined appearance and likely reflects the Victorian era's interest in documenting notable individuals.
