EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Joseph Roswell Hawley" and published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1872, offers a striking portrait of the 42nd Governor of Connecticut, Joseph Roswell Hawley. Born on February 12, 1826, Hawley was a prominent American politician who served in both the Republican and Free Soil parties. He gained national recognition during the Civil War when he was appointed as a brigadier general in the Union Army. Hawley's political career began in earnest after the war, and he was elected as a U.S. Senator from Connecticut in 1867. He served in the Senate until 1877, advocating for civil rights and Reconstruction policies. Hawley's moustache and stern expression convey the seriousness and determination that marked his political persona. The colored print, produced in the 19th century, captures the contemporary style of the time, with its intricate detail and rich hues. Hawley's personage is depicted against a plain background, allowing the viewer to focus on the subject's character and political significance. The image offers a glimpse into the history of American politics during a pivotal period in the country's development. Hawley's legacy as a political figure extends beyond his service in the Senate, as he was also the 42nd Governor of Connecticut, serving from 1884 to 1886. His contributions to American history and the political landscape of the United States continue to be recognized and studied by scholars and historians today.
