The National Portrait Gallery in London possesses several engraved self-portraits by William Strang (1859-1921) not present in the more substantial British Museum collection. Strang's portraits of Edwardian writers and other notables are also better represented at the National Portrait Gallery even though the collection as a whole is smaller there.
