EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Benjamin F. Butler, a remarkable figure in American history. Born in 1818 and passing away in 1893, Butler was not only a lawyer and politician but also an esteemed army officer during the Civil War. The lithograph, created by Alonzo Chappel and based on an original painting, captures the essence of this influential man. In this image, we see Butler seated confidently, his bald head shining under the light. Dressed in his military uniform with a sword by his side, he exudes strength and authority. As one of Massachusetts' representatives in the United States House of Representatives and later its governor, Butler played a crucial role in shaping American politics. What truly sets him apart is his unwavering dedication to championing workers' rights and advocating for equality among all races. His commitment to these causes earned him recognition as both a champion of workers and blacks alike. During the turbulent times of the Civil War, Butler's leadership skills were put to use as he served as an officer within the Union Army. This photograph perfectly encapsulates his multifaceted persona – embodying power both on political battlegrounds and military fields. Preserved within this private collection, this historical artifact serves as a reminder of Benjamin F. Butler's legacy – a man who fought tirelessly for justice throughout his life.
