EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed George Read, an influential American statesman and one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence. Engraved by James Barton Longacre, a renowned artist of his time, this portrait exudes a sense of dignity and wisdom. George Read's half-length figure is captured with great attention to detail, highlighting his prominent role as a founding father during the 18th century. His piercing gaze reflects both determination and intellect, while his composed expression hints at the weighty responsibilities he bore in shaping America's future. The skilled craftsmanship of Robert Edge Pine is evident in this engraving after an original painting. The fine lines and intricate shading bring depth to every contour, emphasizing Read's strong facial features and distinguished appearance. Displayed against a plain background, this portrait allows viewers to focus solely on George Read himself. It serves as a powerful reminder of the significant contributions made by individuals like him who laid the foundation for American democracy.
