Wilkins, Judge Wm. ca. 1860-1865 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the mid-19th century in America, offering a rare glimpse into the life of Judge William Wilkins. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their skill is evident in capturing this remarkable portrait. Judge Wilkins, an elderly man dressed in formal attire, exudes wisdom and authority as he sits behind his desk adorned with books and documents. His elegant coat and jacket reflect the fashion clothing of that era, showcasing his status as a prominent figure in politics and law. The setting appears to be a library or study within Pennsylvania's Congressional Library - an environment that perfectly complements Judge Wilkins' scholarly pursuits. The glass negative used for this photograph adds depth and texture to every detail captured by Mathew Brady's lens. As we observe this solitary figure engrossed in his work, we are transported to a time when political decisions were made with pen on paper rather than through digital screens. This image serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how far we have come since then. Preserved by Heritage Art at the Library of Congress, this portrait photograph stands as a testament to both Judge Wilkins' legacy and the artistry involved in early photography techniques. It allows us to connect with history on a personal level while appreciating the craftsmanship behind each frame captured during those transformative years.
