EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Thomas Fletcher Oakes, a prominent figure in American railroad history. Born in 1843 and passing away in 1919, Oakes made significant contributions as an executive and served as the president of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The engraving, created by an unknown American artist in 1890, beautifully captures Oakes' distinguished appearance. In this portrait from the late 19th century, we see a man with a commanding presence and a well-groomed beard that was fashionable at the time. His expression exudes confidence and determination, reflecting his role as a leader in the railroad industry during this pivotal period known as the turn of the century. The Northern Pacific Railroad played a crucial role in connecting various regions across America, facilitating trade and transportation during an era of rapid industrialization. As its president, Thomas Fletcher Oakes oversaw numerous advancements within the company that helped shape America's expanding rail network. This remarkable print is part of Granger Art on Demand's collection curated by The Granger Collection based out of New York City. It serves as both a historical artifact capturing an influential individual from America's past and an artistic representation showcasing skilled engraving techniques prevalent during that time.
