EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures R. B. Rhett, Jr. , a prominent figure in 19th century America. The creator of this intriguing portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the image. Rhett is believed to be a newspaper editor, possibly Robert Barnwell Rhatt Jr. , although it cannot be confirmed. The photograph was taken between 1855 and 1865, during a tumultuous period in American history. Rhett's facial hair style reflects the fashion trends of the time, with his impressive mustache and mutton chop sideburns making him stand out as a man of distinction. The composition highlights Rhett's serious yet slightly humorous expression, capturing his personality and character. His gaze seems focused on something beyond the frame, leaving us curious about his thoughts or perhaps contemplating the state of the country during that era. Preserved by glass negatives from the Brady Handy Collection at the Library of Congress, this still image provides us with a glimpse into United States society during this pivotal time in its history. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like R. B. Rhett played significant roles in shaping our nation through their occupations and professions. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded that even though much about R. B. Rhett remains shrouded in uncertainty, his presence continues to intrigue us as an emblematic representation of 19th century America.
