He is perhaps best remembered for having executed the first extensive program of illustration for "A Christmas Carol", namely for the 1869 Ticknor-Fields edition that contained twenty-five wood-cuts. In particular, Eytinge created the iconic image of Tiny Tim hoisted up on his father's shoulders, an image of complete sympathy between a loving father and a physically challenged child that so many cinematic adaptations have reproduced.
Married Margaret Winship Wyckoff of Bayonne, NJ, a poet and author of children's books, sometimes under the name "Madge Elliot". They were married in Brooklyn by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
He was a cousin (some sources say brother, but this is incorrect) of renowned actress Rose Eytinge. Stepfather of actress Pearl Eytinge, who took his last name.
