EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving from the 19th century depicts Arthur Tappan, an influential American merchant who lived from 1786 to 1865. The image is based on a photograph taken around the years of 1860-62, showcasing Tappan's distinguished appearance and mid-1800s fashion. Arthur Tappan was not only known for his successful business ventures but also for his active involvement in various social movements of his time. As an ardent abolitionist, he played a significant role in the fight against slavery in America. His commitment to this cause is evident through his strong facial expression and determined gaze captured in this print. Tappan's iconic beard symbolizes wisdom and masculinity, reflecting the ideals of American manhood during that era. This portrayal serves as a reminder of the prominent figures who shaped America's history by standing up against injustice and advocating for change. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this historical artifact, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its representation of an important figure in American history. This engraving serves as a testament to Arthur Tappan's enduring legacy as a merchant, abolitionist, and advocate for equality during one of America's most transformative periods.
