EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "John Adams" is a remarkable piece of historical artwork that captures the essence of one of America's founding fathers. Created by renowned artist John Singleton Copley in the 19th century, this print showcases his exceptional talent for portraiture. The subject of this engraving is none other than John Adams himself, the second President of the United States. With meticulous detail and precision, Copley masterfully brings out Adams' distinguished features and commanding presence. The lines etched on paper seem to come alive as they depict every wrinkle on his face and every strand of hair on his head. This particular print was commissioned for Charles Mackay's book "The History of The United States of America" in 1860, making it a significant piece within American historical literature. It serves as a visual representation that complements Mackay's written account, allowing readers to connect with history through both words and images. Now part of a private collection, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon John Adams' portrait today, we are reminded not only of his contributions to our nation but also how art can preserve history in such an exquisite manner. Bridgeman Images has done an impeccable job preserving this important piece from our past. Through their dedication to showcasing fine art prints like these, they allow us all to appreciate the beauty and significance found within historical engravings such as this one.
