EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Increase Mather, a prominent Puritan minister and American colonist of the 17th century. The image, dating back to around 1880, showcases Mather's stern countenance and traditional attire, providing us with a glimpse into the life of this influential figure. Increase Mather played significant roles in various aspects of colonial society. He actively participated in the governance of the Massachusetts Bay colony, leaving an indelible mark on its development. Additionally, he held administrative positions at Harvard University, contributing to its growth as an esteemed educational institution. However, it is his involvement in one of history's most infamous events that truly distinguishes Increase Mather - the Salem Witch Trials. As a key player during those dark times, he was deeply entangled in the legal proceedings and religious fervor surrounding these trials. This portrait engraving from Cassells History of the United States offers us insight into both Mather's physical appearance and his role within early American society. It serves as a reminder not only of his influence but also highlights important aspects such as religion, law, and politics during that era. Preserved through time by Edmund Ollier's meticulous workmanship for future generations to appreciate; this photograph allows us to connect with our past while contemplating the complexities inherent in America's colonial history.
