Biographical and historical sketches of early Indiana
A biographical and historical collection of early Indiana figures, compiled by William Wesley Woollen and published in Indianapolis by Hammond & Co. in 1883, aimed at readers interested in the state's pioneer leaders, Masonic members and newspapermen. The pictures are steel-engraved oval portraits of bearded and moustached men in dark coats, with fine hatched shading and warm cream paper, a sober, dignified style a designer could borrow for period portrait treatments or vintage photo-style headers.
