 * Reason:A very nice, detailed picture of him. Photos seem to either date from much later, or appear to have had major editing done so that they're equivalent to drawings - I'm not at all convinced that https://www.loc.gov/item/brh2003003291/PP/, for example, is a genuine photograph in the facial region. It gives the impression of a painting. This image is important enough to be used as the basis for a stamp later, File:JamesRussellLowell-1940.jpg (it's a mirror image, but otherwise obviously based on this). By the way, if you haven't noticed, I've been clearing out all my half-done stuff this month, so forgive me if I get through a fair amount of stuff; I have a lot of things I've put a lot of work into, but never went through the last bit of effort to finish.
