Description Dorofield Hardy's engraving of a photograph of Arthur Sullivan when he was a Mendelssohn Scholar. The book labels the engraving 1856, but this appears to be an error. An interview of Sullivan in The Strand magazine identifies the photograph as an 1860 photograph: http://math.boisestate.edu/GaS/other_sullivan/lawrence/lawrence_1.html Sullivan said "Yes, that portrait of me (when a student at Leipzig) was taken when I was eighteen". Sullivan was born in May 1842 and therefore turned 14 in 1856. In 1856, he became the first Mendelssohn Scholar. However, he did not go to study in Leipzig until later; therefore, the 1860 date is more plausible. It may be that the 1856 date shown on the drawing merely refers to the year in which Sullivan was awarded the scholarship.
