"Capturing the Faces of History: Portrait Photographs from 1870-1880" Step back in time and delve into the captivating world of portrait photography during the late 19th century. These stunning images, taken between 1870 and 1880 by unknown creators, offer a glimpse into the lives and personalities of notable figures from that era. One such figure is Benjamin J. Franklin of Missouri, his dignified presence emanating through the lens. His expression reveals a man who has witnessed significant moments in history, leaving us curious about his role in shaping our nation's story. General William B. Hazen appears before us not only once but twice - one photograph capturing him out of uniform, allowing us to see beyond his military persona. The other portrays him as a distinguished officer with an air of authority that commands respect. Benjamin Dean's portrait showcases a gentleman from Massachusetts with an aura of sophistication and refinement. His poised demeanor hints at a life filled with intellectual pursuits and perhaps even political involvement. Another military leader captured during this period is General William Dennison Whipple, standing tall in his US Army uniform circa 1875. This image immortalizes bravery and dedication to duty while raising questions about the battles he fought on behalf of our country. The legal profession also finds representation within these portraits; Judge Carter gazes confidently at the camera while Judge Nathan Clifford (Supreme Court) exudes wisdom earned through years on the bench. Their photographs remind us that justice has always been integral to society's fabric. Charles Albright stands proud as a representative from Pennsylvania - his eyes reflecting determination and ambition for progress both personally and professionally. Admiral Levin M. Powell's portrait captures him amidst naval glory - we can almost hear tales of seafaring adventures whispered through time as we gaze upon this remarkable image. Lastly, we encounter William Wallace Crapo, MC from MA.
