Excerpt from Lithographic Portraits of Albert Newsam

Lithography was peculiarly adapted to the reproduction of portraits; and the first man in the United States to achieve any considerable reputation as a delineator of por traits upon stone was Albert Newsam, the subject of the present sketch. His work was characterized by an absolute faithfulness of likeness and by an artistic finish peculiarly its own; and his portraits have an added historical value in being, in many cases, the only published portraits of persons prominent in the political, professional, social, and business life of the first half of the last century.
