This black-and-white print shows a man sitting in a chair, wearing a dark coat and a tall, wrinkled hat.
This black-and-white print shows a man sitting in a chair, wearing a dark coat and a tall, wrinkled hat. His hands rest on his lap, and he looks directly at the viewer with a calm expression. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and clothes.
The name "J. Spalding" is written below the image, which matches the title Germany’s Famous Authors. The print looks old, with some wear on the edges, and was likely made in 1824.
