EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable figure of Henry Gassaway Davis, a prominent businessman and politician from West Virginia. Taken between 1860 and 1875 by an unknown photographer, this portrait captures Davis in all his glory. With a distinguished beard adorning his face, Davis exudes confidence and power. His success story is one that epitomizes the American dream - starting from humble beginnings, he built an empire in the coal and timber industries, ultimately amassing great wealth to become a millionaire. Davis's influence extended beyond business as he ventured into politics. As a lawmaker and legislator, he played an instrumental role in shaping the political landscape of his country during the nineteenth century. This portrait serves as a testament to his dedication to public service. The image itself is beautifully captured with its striking contrast of light and shadow. Preserved on glass negatives within the Congressional Library collection at the Library of Congress, it stands as both a historical artifact and a work of art. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of Davis's enduring legacy - not only as a successful businessman but also as someone who made significant contributions to society through politics. The enigmatic aura surrounding him invites us to delve deeper into his life story while appreciating the rich history that lies within this still image from America's past.
