EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the essence of Hon. Horatio C. Burchard, a prominent politician and lawyer from Illinois during the late 19th century. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their skill in capturing Burchard's commanding presence is evident. With his distinguished beard and intense gaze, Burchard exudes an air of authority and wisdom. As a director of the US Mint and creator of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), he played a crucial role in shaping America's financial landscape during this period. The photograph was taken between 1865 and 1880, placing it within a significant era for American politics. Burchard's influence extended beyond finance; he was also involved in matters such as income tax legislation, making him a respected lawmaker. The image itself is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed at the Library of Congress, adding to its historical significance. Preserved on glass negatives from that time period, this print serves as a tangible link to our nation's past. As we observe this remarkable portrait today, we are reminded not only of Burchard's contributions but also of the countless individuals who have shaped our country throughout history. This print stands as a testament to their enduring legacy and invites us to reflect upon their impact on our present-day society.
