EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases the distinguished figure of Captain Galen G. Norton, taken in 1891 by renowned photographer Moses P. Rice. At the age of 72, Capt. Norton's commanding presence is evident as he gazes confidently into the camera lens. His well-groomed beard and facial hair add to his dignified appearance, reflecting a man who has experienced life's trials and triumphs. Captured during the late 19th century in America, this photograph not only portrays an individual but also represents a significant era marked by the American Civil War. Capt. Norton's military background as an officer adds depth to his character, symbolizing bravery and sacrifice for his country. The image was captured on a cabinet card or carte de visite format popular at that time, showcasing Rice's skillful artistry in capturing every intricate detail of Capt. Norton's features. As we delve into this historical photograph, it reminds us of our nation's rich heritage and serves as a reminder of those who have contributed to shaping our great country through their service and dedication. Preserved within the Smithsonian Institution archives, this portrait stands as both an educational tool for future generations and a testament to Moses P. Rice's talent in immortalizing individuals through photography during this transformative period in American history.
