An Interesting Find!

I came across this engraving by Henry Inman of Elizabeth Oakes Smith this morning. An announcement in The United States Magazine suggests that the artwork was completed sometime around 1843. That would make sense, since her book of poems was published the same year.  EOS would have been about 37 years old when she sat for this portrait. Hey, I know someone else who happens to be 37 right now- me!
