[CLAY, Henry (1777?1852)]. ?? NEAGLE, John, artist (American, 1796?1865). Henry Clay. Philadelphia: W.B. Lane, 1844. Mezzotint engraving (568 x 419 mm). Porthole portrait by William Warner after the painting from life by Nagle at Ashland in November, 1852 that is unquestionably a reference to Rembrandt Peale?s famous portrait of George Washington. Linen?backed. Restored paper losses and tears in margins; scattered repaired stains and soiling around edges, with some abrasions in image, but overall a strong and dark impression.
