Title:
Thomas Campbell
Description:
A black and white engraving of a three-dimensional Greek bust of Thomas Campbell. The paper itself is around 5” by 3” with the image of the bust taking up around ¾ of the page. The engraving of Campbell itself has a serious expression with a tight mouth and arched eyebrows. The eyes have no pupils for direction of sight but the head is slightly turned to its left. Campbells hair is short but curly, appearing very textured even for stone. His clothing also gives the appearance of soft flowy material as various folds and creases are depicted. This style seems to be reminiscent of a toga or a similar shawl-like piece of clothing as it wraps around his shoulders and once again around his neck to give the outfit a circular structure. On both sides of his shoulders, underneath the drawing itself, are the inscriptions crediting D.M Nee for the drawing and Henry R. Cook for the engraving. Below all of this has “Thomas Campbell” written out in large letters in the center of the page followed by credits to the sculptor and publishers in smaller text beneath it.
