Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States, served his country between 1855 and 1865. Despite being a relatively unknown figure today, he left an indelible mark on American history. This collection of images showcases various depictions of Pierce throughout his political career. In these chromolithographs and engravings, we see a glimpse into the life and presidency of Franklin Pierce. From his early days as General Pierce to his role as New President of the United States, each image captures a different aspect of his leadership. One particular portrait stands out—a stunning oil on canvas painting from 1858. It beautifully portrays President Pierce with great detail and elegance. The artist's skill in capturing every nuance is evident in this lifelike depiction. These lithographs also provide insight into how Franklin Pierce was perceived during his time in office. They serve as visual records that immortalize him alongside other Presidents of the United States. George Peter Alexander Healy's creations further shed light on who Franklin Pierce was as an individual. In one image from November 1852, we see him exuding confidence and determination—a true leader ready to take on any challenge that comes his way. Another portrait by Healy depicts a more contemplative side to President Pierce—perhaps reflecting upon the weighty decisions he faced during his tenure.
