Thomas De Quincey: Engraved Portrait and Signature
A bust-length portrait shows Thomas De Quincey in dark clothing with his head turned slightly to one side. Fine engraved lines model the face and hair, and a facsimile signature sits beneath the image. The portrait accompanies Confessions of an English Opium-Eater and Kindred Papers. The reproduced page does not supply an artist’s name.
