This print showcases the remarkable Eli Whitney, an American inventor whose contributions revolutionized various industries during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The wood engraving beautifully captures his likeness, based on a painting by Charles Bird King. Eli Whitney's genius is immortalized in this image as he sits confidently, embodying the spirit of innovation that defined his legacy. With a thoughtful gaze and poised demeanor, he exudes intelligence and determination. Whitney's impact on America cannot be overstated; his inventions transformed multiple sectors of society.
