Chief Justice Edward D. White, etching portrait

Dark etched portrait of a heavyset older man with thinning hair, looking directly at the viewer with a stern expression. He wears a dark coat over a white collar, set against a deep black background within a wide cream paper margin. Rich tonal shading in the face and jacket shows the etching technique.
