EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Edward Everett, a prominent American politician of the 19th century. Taken by an anonymous American photographer during the years 1860-65, this print showcases Everett's dignified presence and statesman-like demeanor. Edward Everett was a man of many accomplishments; he served as a U. S. Representative, U. S. Senator, Governor of Massachusetts, Minister to Great Britain, United States Secretary of State, and even held the position of president at Harvard University. His influence extended far beyond politics. One significant moment in his career that is often remembered is his role as the featured orator at the dedication ceremony of the National Cemetery in Gettysburg in 1863. It was there that he delivered a lengthy speech lasting over two hours just before President Abraham Lincoln gave his iconic two-minute Gettysburg Address. In this portrait, we see an elderly Edward Everett seated formally in a studio setting. The three-quarter length composition allows us to appreciate his distinguished appearance and thoughtful expression. This print provides us with a glimpse into history and offers insight into one of America's notable figures from the Civil War era. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of Edward Everett's contributions to our nation's political landscape and his enduring legacy as both an accomplished politician and skilled orator.
