EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Harris Merrill Plaisted, a prominent individual who made his mark in both military and political realms during the late 19th century. The creator of this remarkable portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to Plaisted's enigmatic persona. Plaisted's resolute gaze and well-groomed beard exude confidence and authority, reflecting his role as a military officer in the Union Army. Serving as Colonel of the 11th Maine Infantry Regiment between 1865 and 1880, he displayed unwavering dedication to his country during a pivotal period in American history. Beyond his military achievements, Plaisted also ventured into politics, becoming a respected congressman from Maine. His legal background as an attorney further enhanced his ability to navigate complex legislative matters with finesse. Notably, he even held the esteemed position of Attorney General at one point. The photograph captures Plaisted amidst a backdrop that symbolizes heritage and tradition - the Congressional Library itself. This setting serves as a testament to his profound impact on American politics and law. Preserved through glass negatives from 1860-1880 by Levin C. Handy (part of Brady Mathew B. 's collection), this image offers us a glimpse into Plaisted's life beyond mere historical records or written accounts. It immortalizes him as more than just another politician or military officer; it portrays him as an influential figure whose legacy continues to resonate today.
