After making a slightly snide comment, I decided I had to redeem myself by actually finding the answer. It’s surprisingly difficult, but the engraver was likely Charles A Brooks. I cannot determine the name or subject of the engraving itself though, though I’m merely using google searching. The answer is probably sitting in some record books in some archive somewhere.

His engravings were nearly photorealistic, so a reverse image search from a cropped pic of just the portrait may yield something–his original source potentially.
