EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of William Gaston from 1834, in its second state. Measuring approximately 4 1/2 x 3 11/16 inches (115 x 94 cm), this image is a true masterpiece by Asher Brown Durand, an esteemed American artist hailing from Jefferson, New Jersey (1796-1886). Durand's exceptional talent shines through in this print as he skillfully captures the essence and character of his subject. The engraving itself is based on a work by George Esten Cooke, who hailed from St. Marys County, Maryland (1793-1849) but later settled in Athens, Georgia (1796-1886). The collaboration between these two artists resulted in a stunning portrayal of William Gaston that has stood the test of time. Gaston himself was an influential figure during his era. Born in North Carolina in 1778 and passing away in Raleigh in 1844, he made significant contributions to both law and politics. A prominent lawyer and judge, Gaston also served as a U. S. Congressman representing North Carolina for several terms. This print not only serves as a visual testament to the artistic prowess of Durand and Cooke but also provides us with an intriguing glimpse into the life and legacy of William Gaston. It is truly a treasure worth cherishing for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
