Daniel Webster was a prominent figure in American politics during the 19th century. His influence and impact are beautifully captured in various portraits and engravings that have been created over the years. One such portrait, titled "Beauty Revealed, " painted by Sarah Goodridge in 1828, showcases Webster's dignified presence and commanding aura. Another photograph taken between 1855 and 1865, by an unknown creator, captures his strong features and piercing gaze. Webster's political career is further highlighted through lithographs such as "Portraits of American Statesmen: Daniel Webster. " This piece immortalizes his contribution to the nation as a statesman. Additionally, Thomas Ball's sculpture from 1853 titled "Daniel Webster" portrays him with great detail and realism. The company Continental Bank Note Company paid tribute to Webster with a special printing single stamp featuring his image in 1875. Similarly, the American Bank Note Company released a single stamp of him in 1879. These stamps serve as reminders of his enduring legacy.
