Men of mark : a gallery of contemporary portraits of men distinguished in the senate, the church, in science, literature and art, the army, navy, law, medicine, etc.
Men of mark is a Victorian photographic gallery published in London in 1876 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, with portraits by Lock & Whitfield and commentary by Thompson Cooper, aimed at a general readership interested in eminent figures of the day. Its pictures are sepia carte-style studio portraits of bearded men in dark coats and high collars, set in oval vignettes on cream mounts with ornamental borders, offering a designer a model for period portrait layouts, oval framing, and muted brown tonal palettes.
