SUMMARY
Oval bust-length lithograph portrait of Samuel Hahnemann, signed by the lithographer Edward Grimstone and dated 1850. Held at Wellcome Collection under the Public Domain Mark; the image, its creator, and the 1850 date are read from the Wellcome catalogue record (work nfpgpkgx; image V0002498EL). Identification basis: the Wellcome record names the sitter as Samuel Christian Friedrich Hahnemann, so the caption names him.
NOTES

A lithograph portrait of Hahnemann in old age, by Edward Grimstone, dated 1850 in the Wellcome catalogue record. It is used as the lead likeness (portrait) of the practitioner for this case. Rights, creator, and date are taken directly from the Wellcome record (work nfpgpkgx), which carries the Public Domain Mark; the sitter’s name is the archive’s own, which is the basis for naming him in the caption.
