The Caucus Blog of the Illinois House Republicans

Sometime during the 1873 legislative session, Andrew Henry of Greenville, a judge and state legislator, sat for a portrait with an acclaimed Springfield pencil and crayon artist named Dennis Williams.

Williams completed the illustration, signed it and marked it with the year, then placed the drawing in a frame, on which was stenciled “From C.C. Howorth’s Picture & Frame Store. No. 14, American House Block.”
