CHARLES WILKES (1798-1877) - A Resolute American Naval Officer
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Charles Wilkes, a prominent figure in American naval history. Born in 1798, Wilkes was an esteemed naval officer who played a significant role in shaping the nation's maritime prowess. The steel engraving, created in 1877 by Mathew Brady and reproduced here by Henry B. Brown, beautifully captures his commanding presence. In this portrait, Wilkes exudes strength and determination as he gazes into the distance with piercing intensity. His distinguished appearance is accentuated by his crisp collar and spectacles that lend an air of wisdom to his countenance. This image serves as a testament to both his leadership skills and intellectual acumen. Wilkes' contributions extend beyond his military career; he was also known for leading scientific expeditions that explored uncharted territories around the world. Notably, he commanded the United States Exploring Expedition from 1838 to 1842, which greatly expanded geographical knowledge of Antarctica and the Pacific Northwest. As we admire this remarkable etching created by Max Rosenthal in 1891, we are reminded of Charles Wilkes' indelible mark on American history—a man whose dedication to exploration and service shaped our understanding of the world around us. This artwork pays homage to a true pioneer whose legacy continues to inspire generations today.
