EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Henry S. Briggs, a prominent figure in 19th-century America. The image, captured between 1855 and 1865 by an unknown photographer, exudes an air of authority and strength. General Briggs was not only a distinguished soldier but also a lawyer and politician. His impressive beard and facial hair add to his commanding presence, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. Dressed in military attire, he embodies the essence of a true leader. The photograph is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed at the Library of Congress. Mathew B. Brady, renowned for his Civil War photography, may have been involved in its creation as well. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are transported back to a pivotal era in American history – the American Civil War. General Briggs played an important role during this tumultuous period as a brigadier general in the US Army. Beyond his military achievements, General Briggs's legacy extends into politics and lawmaking. He served as both lawmaker and attorney throughout his career. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's past – capturing not just one man but also embodying concepts such as courage, patriotism, leadership, and resilience that defined that era.
