EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases the distinguished figure of Charles Devens, a prominent American jurist and statesman. Captured by the skilled lens of Samuel Montague Fassett in the 19th century, this photograph exudes an air of formality and elegance. Devens' commanding presence is accentuated by his well-groomed beard and formal attire, including a coat that speaks to his status as a man of influence. As Major General Charles Devens, he served his country with honor during the Civil War, displaying both bravery on the battlefield and astute legal acumen off it. Beyond his military achievements, Devens was also renowned for his contributions to education and politics. He played a pivotal role in shaping America's scientific institutions while serving as an advocate for educational reform. His dedication to justice led him to become one of the most respected lawyers of his time. In this profile portrait, we catch a glimpse into Devens' character - strong-willed yet thoughtful. The side view allows us to appreciate every detail of his facial features; it is evident that wisdom has etched itself upon them. Preserved within the archives of the Smithsonian Institution, this remarkable image serves as a testament to both Devens' legacy and Fassett's artistic prowess. It invites us to delve into America's rich history while honoring those who have shaped its course through their intellect and leadership.
