Engraving of a Lost Photo of Governor Jonathan Trumbull's Tomb in Lebanon, Connecticut (1859)

Engraving of a lost photo of Governor Jonathan Trumbull's tomb in Lebanon, Connecticut, 1859. Trumbull had served as governor of Connecticut during most of the American Revolutionary War. The engraving was originally published in the April 30, 1859 issue of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. The original photo is attributed to photographer Henry Lord Gay, which might be the same person as the later notable architect. Gay seems to have been living in Connecticut in 1859, but he would have only been around 15 years old when the photo was taken.
