EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Tench Coxe, a prominent figure in American history. Painted by the talented artist Jeremiah Paul, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent. Tench Coxe was an influential individual who left an indelible mark on various aspects of society during his lifetime. Known for purchasing a staggering 80,000 acres of land in Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region, he played a significant role in promoting and developing coal mining in that area. Coxe's contributions extended beyond the realm of business and industry. He fervently advocated for citizens' right to keep and bear arms, actively participating in debates surrounding the Second Amendment. As a delegate to the Continental Congress and accomplished writer, Coxe made valuable contributions to literature and political discourse. In this striking half-length portrait, Coxe exudes confidence and determination as he gazes into the distance. The painting beautifully captures his entrepreneurial spirit and intellectual prowess. Displayed alongside him is a female writer symbolizing literary accomplishments that were prevalent during Coxe's era. Together, they represent two pillars of knowledge intertwining with commerce and industry. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Tench Coxe's multifaceted legacy – one that encompasses not only business acumen but also advocacy for individual rights and intellectual pursuits.
