This 19th-century lithograph captures the essence of Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren, a renowned inventor and naval officer in the United States. The print is a sample from Allen & Ginter Cigarettes' "Worlds Inventors souvenir album" showcasing notable figures who have shaped American history. In this portrait, Dahlgren's bearded countenance exudes wisdom and authority, reflecting his significant contributions to gunnery and naval warfare during this era. His impressive facial hair adds an air of distinction to his appearance, symbolizing the mark of a true gentleman. Dahlgren stands proudly with a book in hand, representing his literary achievements as well as his expertise in science and invention. As one of America's most famous inventors, he revolutionized weaponry by developing advanced guns that greatly impacted naval battles. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph emphasize the importance of Dahlgren's legacy within American history and culture.
