EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of William Henry Drayton, an influential American planter and lawyer from Charleston, South Carolina. The portrait, drawn from life in the 18th century but printed in 1937, showcases Drayton's distinctive hairstyle with a puff on top and a queue at the back. His hairdo reflects the fashion trends of that era. Drayton was not only known for his impeccable style but also for his exceptional education. He attended Westminster School and Balliol College, Oxford, which undoubtedly contributed to his success as a landowner and legal expert. The photograph is sourced from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan. Published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York during the 1930s, this book offers valuable insights into the evolution of clothing styles throughout American history. In this portrait, Drayton exudes confidence with a slight smile on his face. The oval-shaped frame adds an elegant touch to the overall composition. This image provides us with a glimpse into both colonial America and early 20th-century publishing practices. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how fashion choices can reflect one's social status and cultural background. William Henry Drayton remains an intriguing figure whose legacy lives on through historical records like this remarkable portrait.
