EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stern yet distinguished face of Edwin McMasters Stanton, President Lincoln's Secretary of War during the tumultuous 1860s. With his thick beard, spectacles perched on his nose, and a commanding presence, Stanton exudes an air of authority and intellect. A prominent figure in American politics and law, Stanton served as the United States Attorney General before assuming the role of Secretary of War throughout most of the American Civil War and Reconstruction era. His unwavering commitment to preserving the Union made him a key player in shaping the course of history during this critical period. The photograph is part of Mathew Brady's iconic collection "Historian with a Camera" which immortalizes significant figures from America's past. James D Horan's book further delves into Stanton's life and contributions to society. In this portrait, we witness not only a man deeply entrenched in his profession but also someone who played an instrumental role in guiding a nation through one of its darkest times. The intensity in Stanton's gaze reflects both determination and wisdom acquired through years spent navigating complex political landscapes. As we contemplate this image, we are reminded that behind every great leader stands individuals like Edwin McMasters Stanton - dedicated public servants whose influence shapes nations for generations to come.
