My photo detail of the illustration “The Mail Wagon” within “India and its Native Princes” 1876 - Scribner’s.  The text and illustrations are uncredited in my copy, but I’m pretty sure it’s from Louis-Théophile Marie Rousselet ‘s (1845-1929) “L’Inde des Rajahs: Voyage Dans l’Inde Centrale”  Chapter: XXVII - ‘The Ruins of Futtehpore’  of 1875

Jurist Portrait / photograph of a vintage engraving of Theodore E. Denker, 27, A shipping clerk for the wholesale clothing firm of H. H. King.  / He was a jurist in the “Anarchy Trial” or “Haymarket Affair”  in Chicago, Illinois, 30 September, 1886 / “The People vs. August Spies, et al.”“—THEODORE E. DENKER, Woodlawn; was born in Wisconsin; 27 years of age; shipping clerk for H. H. King & Co. He was examined on the fourth day of the trial. He admitted that he had heard of the Haymarket affair and that he had expressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendants of the murder charged, which he still entertained; that he believed what he had read and heard upon the subject, and that he thought that the opinion was such as would prevent him from rendering an impartial verdict. He was therefore challenged for cause.”
