EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Sculptor James Wilson Alexander MacDonald, who was active in New York between 1865 and 1880. The creator of this intriguing portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the image. MacDonald's facial hair steals the spotlight, with his impressive moustache and mutton chop sideburns showcasing the fashion trends of the time. The photograph is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed in the Library of Congress, a treasure trove documenting American art and artists from the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into MacDonald's world as he poses confidently for his portrait. MacDonald appears to be a man dedicated to his craft, exuding both seriousness and humor simultaneously. His piercing gaze hints at his artistic passion while also revealing a mischievous spirit lurking beneath. This juxtaposition adds depth to his character, making him all the more captivating. As we contemplate this image captured by Mathew B. Brady or one of his associates during their prolific careers as photographers, we are transported back in time to witness an artist at work - someone who played an important role in shaping America's artistic landscape during that era. This print serves as a testament to MacDonald's contribution as a sculptor and invites us to explore further into his life and works within New York City's vibrant art scene during those transformative years.
