Max Rosenthal (1833-1918) was a prominent Philadelphia lithographer. In 1884, he turned his attention to etching, and in connection with his son, Albert Rosenthal, issued a series of portraits of men prominent in American history. In 1890 he took up the work of engraving in mezzotint, and as he was already a reputable painter of portraits and historical subjects, his artistic training led him to produce mezzotint portraits of merit.
