EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of W. W. Corcoran, a prominent banker, philanthropist, and art collector in 19th century America. The photograph was taken between 1865 and 1880 by an unknown creator from the Brady Handy Collection. Wearing a distinguished beard that adds to his air of authority, Corcoran gazes directly at the camera with a piercing gaze. His facial features reflect wisdom and determination, embodying the essence of a man who made significant contributions to society during his lifetime. Corcoran's legacy is intertwined with the establishment of the renowned Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , which he founded as a testament to his passion for collecting and promoting artistic endeavors. As a patron of the arts, he played an instrumental role in shaping American culture through his support for artists and their works. The photograph itself exudes historical significance as it belongs to glass negatives from 1860-1880 held by the Library of Congress. Its inclusion within this collection further solidifies its importance as part of our nation's heritage. Through this portrait, we catch a glimpse into W. W. Corcoran's world—a man whose influence extended beyond banking into philanthropy and art curation. This image serves as both documentation and homage to one individual's dedication towards enriching society through various avenues: finance, charity work, and cultural preservation.
