EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases Charles Ashmead Schaeffer, a distinguished figure of the 19th century. Taken in the 1870s by renowned photographers Purdy & Frear, this image captures Schaeffer's commanding presence and intellectual prowess. With his impressive beard and intense gaze, Schaeffer exudes an air of wisdom and authority. As a chemist and scientist, he dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge at prestigious educational institutions such as the University of Iowa. His contribution to scientific research is evident through his association with various scientific institutions including the Smithsonian Institution. The meticulous attention to detail in this photograph highlights not only Schaeffer's physical features but also his occupation. The inclusion of handwritten text adds a personal touch, perhaps alluding to notes or findings from one of his experiments. Schaeffer's profile suggests a man deeply engrossed in thought, looking away into unknown horizons. This evokes curiosity about what ideas may have been running through his mind during that moment captured on film. As we admire this remarkable portrait print today, it serves as a reminder of the significant contributions made by individuals like Charles Ashmead Schaeffer who shaped our understanding of science and education in America during the 19th century.
