Description

Halftone reproduction mounted on brown paper [probably by Richard Inwards, the caption being in his hand and the lines drawn around the print being in the same ink]. Stroh's original photograph of Perigal (1890) is 20919. It was probably reproduced in halftone to mark his death in 1898.
