EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Jay Knox Junior, a prominent figure in 19th-century America. Serving as the Controller of Currency between 1870 and 1880, Knox was not only a financier but also a government official who played a crucial role in shaping American currency policy. The primary author of the Coinage Act of 1873, Knox spearheaded the discontinuation of the silver dollar, leaving an indelible mark on the nation's financial landscape. With his distinguished facial hair consisting of a well-groomed mustache and moustache, he exudes an air of authority and wisdom. Captured by Mathew B. Brady or someone from his collection, this portrait photograph is part of the Congressional Library's vast archives. Preserved for posterity, it offers us a glimpse into Knox's life during this pivotal period in American history. As we gaze upon this still image, we are transported back to an era when men like John Jay Knox Junior held significant sway over political and economic matters. His occupation as both lawmaker and legislator underscores his dedication to public service.
