Marlborough, Wellington and Lady Jane Grey are among the sitters in these steel-engraved portraits by Henry Thomas Ryall (1811–1867), the English engraver whose work illustrated Victorian historical books. Published in 1853–1855, including plates from England's Battles by Sea and Land, they range from military commanders to Cardinal Beaton, Ambrose Dudley and Lady Jane Grey, figures of religious and dynastic history. Ryall's part was the engraving of each likeness.
