What it is
Steel engraving. This is a subscription plate: the subject paid to appear in the book.
Its pair
The same man, nine years apart, in two books he paid to be in: his house in the 1880 atlas, his face in the 1889 history.
Named on it
- F. P. Randall
Where it comes from
Valley of the Upper Maumee River, volume 1, 1889, leaf n82. Public domain. Published before 1929, so out of copyright in the United States. Internet Archive. The imprint was not read off the title page, so the publisher is left blank rather than guessed.
Leaf n82. The leaf carries no printed border: it is a portrait plate inserted between printed pages 80 and 81, and is served whole. Served at 1783 by 2668.
