EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Orson Squire Fowler, a prominent figure in 19th century America. The photograph, taken between 1855 and 1865 by an unknown creator, showcases the distinguished features of this remarkable man. With his full beard and intense gaze, Fowler exudes wisdom and intellect. Fowler was not only known for his impressive facial hair but also for his multifaceted career as a phrenologist, vegetarian, and lecturer. As a phrenologist, he studied the shape of skulls to understand human character traits and abilities. His expertise in this field made him highly sought after as a lecturer across the country. In this still image preserved by the Library of Congress' Brady Handy Collection, we catch a glimpse of Fowler's profile - strong yet gentle. His piercing eyes seem to hold countless stories from his extensive travels throughout the United States. As we delve into American history through this portrait photograph, we are reminded of the diverse occupations that shaped our nation during its formative years. Orson Squire Fowler stands as an emblematic example of individuals who dedicated their lives to intellectual pursuits while leaving an indelible mark on society. This print serves as both a visual testament to Fowler's legacy and a window into America's past – capturing not just one man but also reflecting upon broader themes such as occupation, profession, and cultural movements like vegetarianism that gained momentum during that era.
