My Portrait Project 6

I've been sticking with this as time allows. Making my way through a 1965 World Book Encyclopedia drawing all the historical portraits. My parents bought this set for the Mayforth kids from a salesman who actually went door to door. You can check out previous installments here:
#1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. The first two pages are right out of my sketchbook, followed by a number of portraits that I have worked up in color.
