[LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth] MARSHALL, William Edgar. ORIGINAL SIGNED 
ENGRAVED PORTRAIT OF LONGFELLOW. Philadelphia: George Barrie, 1881. 
Original, large engraved portrait of Longfellow surrounded by vignette 
scenes from his best-loved poems (Hiawatha, Blacksmith, Hesperus, 
Revere, etc.), with plenty of room for all as the engraving measures @ 
21" x 30" and is on its original 25-1/4" x 34" stretcher set in a white 
wooden frame without glass that measures 29-1/2" x 38-1/4." SIGNED 
"Henry W. Longfellow" in pencil at the lower center and in pencil by 
Marshall in the lower right corner. Some areas of very light foxing but 
Very Good overall and quite uncommon.

William Edgar Marshall began his life in art as an engraver of 
watch-cases, graduated to vignette work for the American Bank Note 
Company, and studied painting in Europe in 1863-65. He returned to 
America in the latter year, when he painted and engraved a portrait of 
the late President Lincoln. In 1866 he opened a studio in New York, 
where he painted and engraved portraits of many distinguished 
19th-century Americans for the next forty years. (#017715)        $1,000
