EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures William Harrell Felton, a prominent figure in 19th century America. Born in Georgia, Felton served as a surgeon during the Civil War and later became a politician, army surgeon, and Methodist minister. He believed that farmers and factory workers were being exploited by a corrupt government that did not truly represent the interests of "the whole people". The image portrays Felton as a distinguished gentleman with an air of authority. His gaze is steady and determined, reflecting his strong convictions about politics, religion, and social justice. The photographer's identity remains unknown but their skill is evident in capturing the essence of this influential man. In this portrait photograph from the Brady Handy Collection at the Library of Congress, we see Felton as both a man of science (as indicated by his occupation as a physician) and deep religious faith (as evidenced by his role as a Methodist minister). This juxtaposition highlights his multifaceted nature - someone who was dedicated to healing others physically while also seeking to improve society through political means. As we reflect on this image from 1865-1880 America, it serves as a reminder of the complex history that shaped our nation during this time period. It invites us to consider how individuals like William Harrell Felton played significant roles in shaping our country's future through their diverse pursuits - be it medicine or politics - all driven by their unwavering commitment to bettering society for all its citizens.
