To start the ball rolling, is it safe to assume that we are looking for personalities from the 1850s-90s? American and English and maybe French?

If we are doing only Americans: Several years ago, I saw a review for a book on all the photos that were taken of Frederick Douglass, and he ranked #1. I would guess that Lincoln would be #2. I have no idea who would be #3, but with all those military generals posing and preening during the Civil War, I would bet on one of them...
