Bryden.E.Nesbit

The black-and-white woodcut shows the head and shoulders of E. Nesbit in profile, facing right. Her dark hair is curled back over her forehead and ears and drawn into a loose chignon held by a comb or clip. She is wearing a dark dress with a large scalloped and embroidered collar. A decorative black-and-white border frames the portrait; the border at the base is wider than that on the other three sides, and includes an inset name tag for the sitter, in capital letters: E. Nesbit.
