EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Alexander Turney Stewart, a prominent American entrepreneur and retailer of the 19th century. Taken in 1955, this image showcases Stewart seated in a regal chair, exuding confidence and success. Stewart, known as the merchant prince of his time, played a significant role in shaping New York City's retail industry. It was he who recognized the potential in Mathew Brady and offered him employment as a clerk when Brady first arrived in the city. This act would later prove instrumental in launching Brady's illustrious career as one of America's most renowned photographers. In this portrait, Stewart appears distinguished yet approachable, with an air of authority that reflects his influential position within society. The attention to detail is evident not only through his impeccable attire but also through the carefully chosen furniture surrounding him. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical photograph while emphasizing its timeless quality. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to an era where men like Stewart shaped industries and left indelible marks on their country. This particular print comes from "Mathew Brady Historian with a Camera" by James D Horan published by Bonanza Books in 1955. It serves as both a testament to Stewart's legacy and an homage to Mathew Brady's exceptional talent behind the lens.
