EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States, engraved from a photograph by Thomas Phillibrown. The engraving beautifully captures Johnson's dignified presence and distinctive bow tie. Andrew Johnson, born in 1808 and passing away in 1875, succeeded to the presidency following Abraham Lincoln's tragic death. As a self-educated man with humble beginnings as a tailor by trade, his rise to power is an inspiring testament to the American dream. During his presidency from 1865 to 1869, Johnson faced immense challenges during the tumultuous period of Reconstruction after the Civil War. Congress initiated impeachment proceedings against him in 1868 due to disagreements over his Reconstruction policy; however, he ultimately avoided conviction. This portrait exudes strength and determination as Johnson sits confidently for this half-length seated pose. The attention to detail captured by Mathew Brady (1823-1896), who created this engraving based on Phillibrown's original photograph, highlights both his rugged masculinity and intellectual prowess. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into one of America's most pivotal moments. It serves as a reminder that even those without formal education can achieve greatness through hard work and perseverance—a true embodiment of what it means to be an American.
