Known for his remarkable career as a lawyer and politician, Stanton played a crucial role during the pivotal years of 1862-1867. The artist Brady skillfully captures Stanton's commanding presence, emphasizing his distinguished features such as his strong beard and piercing gaze. Stanton's significance is further highlighted by his various high-ranking positions within the United States government.

This engraving originates from volume III of "The War with the South: A History of the Late Rebellion" by Robert Tomes. Published between 1862 and 1867 by Benjamin G Smith in New York, this historical account provides valuable insights into America's past struggles. As we delve into this striking portrait, we are transported back to the nineteenth century – an era defined by its great statesmen like Edwin McMasters Stanton.
