EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic presence of General Rufus King, a prominent figure in 19th century America. The image, taken between 1855 and 1865 by an unknown creator, showcases General King's distinguished features - his well-groomed beard and commanding gaze. General Rufus King was not only a military leader but also a newspaper editor, public servant, diplomat, and Union brigadier general during the American Civil War. His multifaceted career is reflected in this portrait as he stands tall in his military uniform. The attention to detail in his apparel highlights the fashion of that era. The photograph belongs to the Brady Handy Collection housed at the Library of Congress. Its glass negatives from the mid-19th century provide us with a glimpse into history through still images like this one. As we delve into this intriguing portrait, we are reminded of General King's significant role as a soldier and officer who served his country with honor during a tumultuous time. His facial expression exudes determination and strength while hinting at the weighty responsibilities he carried on his shoulders. This print serves as both an artistic representation of an influential man from America's past and as a historical document capturing an important period in our nation's history – the American Civil War. It allows us to connect with our heritage and appreciate those who dedicated their lives to shaping our country's future.
