Engraved by the talented Josiah Wood Whymper, this image beautifully captures the essence of Penn's character and influence. William Penn (1644-1718) was not only the founder of Pennsylvania but also a renowned Quaker, English religious reformer, colonist, and an influential male figure during his time. This portrait serves as a timeless reminder of his significant contributions to society. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; every line etched with precision brings out the depth and wisdom in Penn's eyes. The artist skillfully portrays his subject's dignified presence through delicate shading techniques that add texture and dimension to the piece.

His calm demeanor reflects both strength and compassion - qualities that made him such an influential leader. Preserved within a private collection for generations, this artwork offers us a glimpse into history while honoring one man's extraordinary legacy.
