EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, created in 1890 by Max Rosenthal, portrays the distinguished American jurist John Marshall Harlan. With a bald head and an authoritative gaze, Harlan's portrait exudes wisdom and experience. As one of the most influential figures in American legal history, Harlan served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court from 1877 until his death in 1911. Harlan's impact on the court was profound during a crucial period in American history known as the Gilded Age. Known for his strong commitment to civil rights and individual liberties, he consistently advocated for equal protection under the law regardless of race or ethnicity. His dissenting opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which upheld racial segregation laws, is particularly noteworthy as it foreshadowed future advancements towards racial equality. The etching captures Harlan at a turning point in his career when he had already established himself as a respected judge but still had many years ahead to shape American jurisprudence. The artist Max Rosenthal skillfully brings out both Harlan's sternness and humanity through intricate details that highlight every wrinkle on his face. This print serves not only as a tribute to John Marshall Harlan but also as a reminder of how individuals can make lasting contributions to society through their dedication to justice and equality. It stands as a testament to America's rich legal heritage and continues to inspire those who believe in upholding fundamental rights for all citizens.
