EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished portrait of Sir John Leverett, a prominent figure in 17th century America. Captured by an unknown artist during the 1930s, this image beautifully portrays Leverett wearing a buff coat and plain soldier's band, reflecting his military background. Sir John Leverett was not only a governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony but also an English colonial magistrate, merchant, and soldier. His direct gaze and confident pose exude authority and strength. The engraving perfectly captures his bearded face with a hand resting on his hip, emphasizing his commanding presence. The photograph is taken from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan, published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York in 1937. It offers us a glimpse into the fashion and style prevalent during Charles I's reign (1640-1660) in England. This historical artifact transports us back to a time when British colonies were establishing their roots on American soil. Through this image, we can appreciate both the artistic representation of Leverett as well as gain insight into the political landscape of early America. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, let us remember Sir John Leverett's significant contributions to history as he played multiple roles within society: defender of faith, law enforcer, leader, and symbol of colonialism in Massachusetts Bay Colony.
