EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph showcases an unidentified bearded man, captured through the art of photogravure. The image, part of the private collection of Brady Mathew, has long been mistakenly associated with Brigham Young, the second President of the Mormon Church and founder of Salt Lake City. However, recent research has revealed that this assumption is incorrect. While bearing a striking resemblance to Young, this enigmatic figure remains unknown to us. Nevertheless, his commanding presence and distinguished beard exude an air of wisdom and authority. The oval-shaped portrait focuses on the man's half-length profile against a plain background. His rugged features are accentuated by the black and white medium used in this American photograph from yesteryears. As we delve into this historical piece from The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of America's rich past and its diverse cast of characters who have shaped its destiny. This male subject represents a slice of United States history during a time when pioneers like Brigham Young were forging new frontiers in Utah Territory. Preserved for posterity by Bridgeman Images, this print invites us to ponder upon the mysteries surrounding it while appreciating its artistic value as a timeless representation of 19th-century America.
