His expertise and dedication helped build and manage the renowned Cooper Union college, which was established in 1859. Hewitt's passion for public service led him to enter politics as a Democrat. He served multiple terms representing New York in the US House of Representatives from 1875 to 1879 and again from 1881 to 1886. In addition, he held the prestigious position of mayor of New York City for one term from 1887 to 1888.

This print is part of an extensive collection housed at Library of Congress, offering us a glimpse into America's rich political history during this transformative era.
