EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished figure of Brevet Lt. Colonel George Baker Corkhill, a prominent individual who played significant roles in both military and legal spheres during the late 19th century in America. The exact creator of this image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. Col. Corkhill's remarkable journey is reflected through his attire, showcasing the fashion clothing typical of that era. His full-length portrait reveals a man with a commanding presence, donning traditional military apparel complete with a hat and facial hair in the form of a moustache. Having served as a lieutenant colonel in the Union Army during the American Civil War, Col. Corkhill displayed immense bravery and dedication to his country. Furthermore, he later became United States Attorney for the District of Columbia where he prosecuted Charles J. Guiteau for assassinating President James A. Garfield. The photograph was captured by Mathew Brady or someone associated with him from Brady Handy Collection - renowned photographers known for their contributions to documenting American history through glass negatives between 1860-1880. Preserved within the Congressional Library at the Library of Congress today, this image serves as a testament to Col. Corkhill's legacy as both an esteemed officer and lawyer within America's legal system during this transformative period in history.
