EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the dignified presence of Edward James Roye, a prominent figure in Liberian history. Painted by Thomas Sully in 1864, this oil on canvas print showcases Roye's commanding stature and refined demeanor. Standing against a neutral background, his formal attire exudes elegance and authority. Edward James Roye (1815-72) was not only the fifth President of Liberia but also served as the country's fourth Chief Justice from 1865 to 1868. As the first member of Liberia's True Whig Party to hold the presidency, he played a significant role in shaping Liberian politics during his brief tenure. Tragically, Roye met an untimely demise while attempting to flee Liberia to escape trial after being deposed from power. His violent death marked a dark chapter in Liberian history and left behind a legacy that continues to be remembered today. This painting serves as both a tribute to Edward James Roye's contributions and an important historical artifact. Preserved at the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent, it offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the life and struggles of this remarkable African American leader. Courtesy of Historical Society of Pennsylvania Collection via Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate Sully's masterful brushwork and skillful portrayal of character. It is not just a painting; it is a window into history itself – capturing one man's journey through power, downfall, and ultimately tragedy.
