EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Roger Chew Weightman, a prominent politician, civic leader, and printer who served as the mayor of Washington, D. C. during the late 19th century. The exact date of this portrait remains unknown but is estimated to have been taken between 1865 and 1880. In this striking image, Weightman exudes an air of authority and confidence befitting his esteemed positions in society. His distinguished facial hair, characterized by mutton chop sideburns that were popular during that era, adds to his commanding presence. The photographer behind this remarkable portrait remains unidentified; however, their skill in capturing Weightman's essence is evident. The use of photography enhances the timeless quality of the image while highlighting every intricate detail on Weightman's face. Preserved within the Congressional Library's glass negatives collection at the Library of Congress, this photograph serves as a testament to both Weightman's significant contributions to American politics and the artistry involved in early photographic techniques. As we gaze upon this still image from America's past, we are reminded not only of Weightman's influential role as a lawmaker but also of our nation's rich history filled with remarkable individuals who shaped its destiny.
