EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white lithograph, created by Charles Fenderich in the 19th century, depicts Henry Clay, a prominent Senator from Kentucky. The image captures Clay in a formal head and shoulders portrait, with a serious expression and piercing gaze. The intricately detailed lettering below the image identifies the subject as "Henry Clay, Senator from Kentucky." Charles Fenderich, a German artist, employed the technique of chine collé, a method that involves adhering a thin sheet of colored paper to a larger sheet of paper, to create the monochrome image. The lithograph on gray chine paper laid down on cream wove paperboard showcases Fenderich's mastery of the lithographic process, known as lithotint. Henry Clay, a prominent political figure during the 1800s, served as a member of the United States House of Representatives, the United States Senate, and as Secretary of State. He was a key figure in American politics during the period leading up to the Civil War. This portrait of Henry Clay is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American history and the artistry of the 19th century. The image, now a part of the vast collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, politics, or art.
