EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Thomas McKean" engraved by Thomas B. Welch in 1814-74. The engraving is based on a painting by Gilbert Stuart, one of America's most renowned portrait artists from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The subject of this striking portrait is none other than Thomas McKean himself, an influential American politician and jurist who played a significant role in shaping the nation's history. As one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, McKean left an indelible mark on American democracy. In this half-length depiction, McKean exudes confidence and wisdom as he gazes directly at the viewer. His distinguished appearance is enhanced by his powdered wig, a common fashion choice during that era. McKean served as Governor of Pennsylvania from 1799 to 1808, leaving behind a legacy marked by progressive policies and effective governance. This portrait serves as a testament to his leadership and commitment to public service. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving offers us a glimpse into America's past - an era defined by revolution, independence, and visionary individuals like Thomas McKean who dedicated their lives to building a better future for generations to come.
