EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless portrait of John Hancock, the Governor of the Massachusetts Colony during the reign of George III. The image showcases Hancock in a distinguished coat with double pocket-flaps, exuding an air of authority and elegance. Created around 1780, this portrait is a testament to the fashion trends prevalent during the late 18th century. John Hancock (1737-1793) was not only an American merchant but also a prominent Patriot who played a crucial role in the American Revolution. His contribution to shaping America's history cannot be overstated, making this portrait all the more significant. The photograph is sourced from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan, published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York in 1937. It offers us a glimpse into both historical events and evolving fashion choices that defined this era. Intriguingly captured indoors at what appears to be his desk or workspace, Hancock gazes away from the camera with crossed knees—a pose that conveys confidence and contemplation. The presence of ledger books on his desk suggests his involvement in bookkeeping or perhaps literature itself. This image serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and pays homage to one man's pivotal role in shaping America's destiny during its formative years.
