Lord Macaulay before 1886

This anonymous portrait, created before 1886, depicts Lord Macaulay, a well-known British historian, writer, and politician. The image, measuring 117 mm by 91 mm, presents a close-up view of Macaulay's head and shoulders, capturing a serious and contemplative expression. The engraving style and the inclusion of the subject's name beneath the image suggests that this portrait was likely created as an illustration for a publication of Macaulay's writings, potentially his famous "History of England." The image serves as a visual representation of one of the prominent figures in 19th-century British literature and history.
