In case you couldn’t tell, Flavorwire loves 19th-century England. So when Open Culture alerted us to the existence of the 1873 book Cartoon Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Men of the Day, we had to click through its pages and share a few of our favorites of the 49 illustrations of famous English people. Drawn by Frederick Waddy, the images below even include one of our favorite Americans.
Anthony Trollope
Benjamin Disraeli
Henry Morton Stanley
Henry Irving
John Lawrence Toole
William Morris
Matthew Arnold
Wilkie Collins
