EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lewellyn Powers, a prominent figure in 19th century America. The creator of this intriguing portrait remains unknown, but the image itself speaks volumes about Powers' character and achievements. Lewellyn Powers was not only a respected politician and lawyer but also served as the Governor of Maine during the years 1865 to 1880. His dedication to justice is evident through his role as prosecuting attorney for Aroostook County, where he fought tirelessly for fairness within the legal system. One notable accomplishment that solidified Powers' legacy was his successful bill to abolish capital punishment in Maine. This landmark legislation made Maine the third state in America to eliminate the death penalty, highlighting Powers' progressive mindset and commitment to human rights. The photograph captures Powers with an air of authority, sporting distinguished facial hair that was popular among men of that era. The use of stereoscopic photography adds depth and dimension to this still image, allowing us a glimpse into history. Preserved within the Library of Congress's Brady Handy Collection, this portrait serves as a testament to Lewellyn Powers' significant contributions both as a lawmaker and advocate for social change. It stands as a reminder of his enduring impact on American politics during a transformative period in our nation's history.
