This print shows three men—Robert Lindlay, Signor Spagnoletti, and W. Lindley—pressed into one sheet. Made in the 19th century, it’s a small ink-and-paper portrait, not a painting. Prints like this were quick ways to share faces before cameras. One detail: it was published by Dickinson, a print shop that sold single-sheet portraits. Check out prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
