Title:

Thomas Campbell Esq

Description:

A black and white lithograph of Thomas Campbell created by London based portrait engraver Benjamin Holl. The center of the page holds the portrait that is about 4” by 3” with a darkly colored background along with his figure. Beyond this there is a less apparent edge about 2” in from the paper’s edge that encapsulated the portrait along with “Thomas Campbell Esqr” in large bold letters (in regular font) followed by “Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow” in cursive. It also includes the creator's name B.Holl underneath the engraving and extra text at the bottom. The image of Campbell itself shows his upper torso and arms with one reaching slightly to his left. He is dressed in a dark open frock coat with a high collar paired with a waistcoat underneath and a cravat around his neck. His face is turned slightly to the left to follow his gaze, his nose is a prominent feature as well as his dark curly hair.
