EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dignified presence of Samuel Sewall, a prominent figure in colonial Massachusetts during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Dressed in a periwig and long coat, Sewall's attire reflects the fashion of the reign of James II, showcasing his status as both governor and judge of the Massachusetts Colony. The portrait, created by an unknown artist in 1937, is featured in Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800". The image offers a glimpse into the historical context of this period, where clothing played a significant role in expressing one's social standing. Sewall (1652-1730) was not only known for his involvement in the Salem witch trials but also for his successful career as a businessman. This engraving provides insight into his character through its attention to detail – from his poised posture to his thoughtful expression. Displayed against an elegant backdrop with antique furniture, this photograph transports us back to colonial America. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about events but also about individuals who shaped their time. Through this portrait, we are invited to explore Sewall's life within the larger narrative of American history.
