EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Abram Hewitt, a prominent figure in American history. Abram Stevens Hewitt was not only an accomplished industrialist but also a respected politician and philanthropist. Born in 1822, he studied at Columbia College before embarking on a successful career as a lawyer. In the mid-19th century, Hewitt co-founded the Trenton Iron Company alongside the Cooper family. His expertise and dedication helped build and manage the renowned Cooper Union college, which was established in 1859. Hewitt's passion for public service led him to enter politics as a Democrat. He served multiple terms representing New York in the US House of Representatives from 1875 to 1879 and again from 1881 to 1886. In addition, he held the prestigious position of mayor of New York City for one term from 1887 to 1888. The image itself dates back to the 1870s when it was captured by Brady-Handy studio photographers. It showcases Hewitt's dignified presence as he looks directly into the camera with confidence. This print is part of an extensive collection housed at Library of Congress, offering us a glimpse into America's rich political history during this transformative era. It serves as a reminder of Hewitt's significant contributions to education, industry, and public service that continue to shape our nation today.
