EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sally Avery Olds and Nathaniel Olds, painted by the talented Jeptha Homer Wade in 1837. The portrait showcases Nathaniel Olds wearing green-tinted spectacles, a unique accessory designed to shield his eyes from the intense light emitted by Argand lamps during that era. These lamps, fueled by whale oil, were known for their bright flames which raised concerns about potential damage to one's eyesight. Jeptha Homer Wade, renowned as the founder of Western Union Telegraph Company in 1854, quickly rose to become one of Cleveland's most prosperous industrialists. His grandson, Jeptha Wade II, played an instrumental role in establishing the esteemed Cleveland Museum of Art and generously gifted the land on which it stands as a Christmas present to the city in 1892. This remarkable piece not only reflects America's rich heritage but also highlights Jeptha Homer Wade's artistic prowess. Painted with meticulous detail on canvas using oil paints, this portrait is now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art—a testament to its enduring significance. Through this image captured by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we are transported back to a time when artistry intertwined with industry and philanthropy shaped our cultural landscape. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements and societal progressions, preserving our history remains paramount.
