Portrait of Samuel Shoemaker, Mayor of Philadelphia, and his Son - A Glimpse into 18th Century Fatherhood
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of fatherhood in late 18th century America. The portrait showcases Samuel Shoemaker, a prominent figure in Philadelphia's history, donning a fashionable bobwig while holding his young son by his side. The contrast between their hairstyles speaks volumes about the evolving fashion trends during that era. Samuel Shoemaker, with his dignified profile and warm smile, exudes confidence and pride as he poses for this engraving. His son stands beside him with long hair cascading down his shoulders - a symbol of youthfulness and innocence. This image beautifully encapsulates the bond between father and child. The unknown creator skillfully portrays not only the physical appearance but also the emotional connection shared by these two individuals. It is evident that Samuel Shoemaker takes great joy in being a loving father to his son. This historical document comes from Elisabeth McClellan's "History of American Costume" offering us a glimpse into the clothing styles prevalent during this period. The print provides valuable insights into both fashion trends and family dynamics at that time. As we admire this piece from Tudor Publishing Company's collection, let us appreciate how it immortalizes an important moment in American history – one where fatherhood is celebrated alongside societal changes reflected through fashion choices.
