Photo Engraving of Edward Lloyd Parry

This is a scan of a photo engraving of Edward Lloyd Parry. While it is in poor shape, it still has remarkable detail (click and zoom in on it). It is 3-1/2" high and 3" wide at the shoulders. It appears to have been cut from a larger picture or template, hence the uneven edges. It is mounted on some sort of thin sheet metal. I acquired it from my wonderfully generous cousin Winnifred. If anyone has further information on this remarkable piece, please contact me at elephantnavel@gmail.com.
