Original – Jay Gould (1836-1892), railroad developer and speculator, for a long time cast as the archetypal robber baron.

Reason: Prints from the late 19th/early 20th century often aren't perfect, but this print... is no exception. Still! It's a very nice portrait of a major Victorian-era financier, and it's certainly not that bad. Took a fair bit of restoration, as the print was rather heavily damaged at the edges, but I think the results are worth it.
