EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking half-length portrait captures Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States of America, in a contemplative moment as he faces left, seated in a high-backed chair. Taken by renowned photographer Jesse Harrison Whitehurst in 1860, this black and white salted paper print offers a glimpse into the political and cultural landscape of the nineteenth century in the United States. Johnson, dressed in formal attire, exudes an air of authority and gravitas, reflecting his role as a prominent statesman and politician. At the time of this photograph, Johnson was a Senator from Tennessee and was soon to be elevated to the Vice Presidency following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. This image, taken prior to his presidency, provides a poignant reminder of the turbulent period in American history known as the Meeting of the Frontiers. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American history and the enduring legacy of its political leaders. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. houses this historic photograph, which serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the people and events that shaped the United States in the nineteenth century. This portrait of Andrew Johnson, with its timeless composition and evocative subject matter, continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of photography as a medium for preserving history.
