EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of James M. Scovel, a prominent lawyer from New Jersey during the years 1865-1880. The creator of this intriguing portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this historical artifact. James Matlack Scovel was not only a distinguished attorney but also served as a colonel and special agent for the US Treasury. His dedication to his country is evident in his stern yet dignified expression, which exudes confidence and authority. The image showcases Scovel's impressive beard and facial hair, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. The meticulous attention to detail in this photograph highlights its significance as a valuable piece of 19th-century American history. It is worth noting that previous archiving efforts have mistakenly associated Scovel with George M. Scoville, who famously defended Charles J. Guiteau, President James A. Garfield's assassin. However, it is crucial to differentiate between these two individuals when discussing their roles in American legal history. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this stereoscopic photograph offers us a glimpse into an era characterized by great change and progress in both law and society at large. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by remarkable figures like James M. Scovel – men whose contributions shaped our nation's development during its formative years.
