EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Walter Phelps, a prominent figure in 19th-century America. The creator of this portrait remains unknown, but the image itself speaks volumes about Phelps' character and accomplishments. Phelps was a man of many talents and professions, as depicted by his impressive resume: banker, arboriculturist, lawyer, politician, and diplomat. Serving as a representative for New Jersey between 1865 and 1880, he played an instrumental role in shaping the political landscape of his time. Notably, he even held prestigious positions such as Ambassador to Germany and Austria-Hungary. The photograph captures Phelps with an air of authority befitting his status. His distinguished facial hair - a well-groomed mustache accompanied by mutton chop sideburns - adds to his commanding presence. Sitting atop a magnificent horse against the backdrop of what appears to be lush countryside scenery further emphasizes his connection to nature. Preserved within the Congressional Library's collection of glass negatives from 1860-1880, this image offers us a glimpse into history through Mathew Brady's lens. It serves as both a testament to Phelps' significant contributions during that era and an artistic representation showcasing the style prevalent at the time. As we admire this remarkable portrait photograph today courtesy of Heritage Art Images, let us appreciate William Walter Phelps' multifaceted career while acknowledging the impact he made on American politics and diplomacy during one of its most transformative periods.
