EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases B. B. French, a prominent politician and architect of the Capitol Building in Washington, D. C. , during the mid-19th century. The image captures French standing proudly next to a statue of Charlemagne, the legendary medieval emperor. The photograph exudes an air of authority as French gazes confidently into the distance, his presence commanding attention. His impeccable attire reflects his status as a distinguished lawmaker and legislator of that era. The inclusion of the statue adds depth to the composition, symbolizing power and greatness associated with Charlemagne's reign. It serves as a reminder of French's role in shaping America's political landscape through his contributions to architectural marvels like the Capitol Building. The clarity and detail captured by this salt print or albumen print photograph are remarkable considering its age. Preserved within glass negatives from 1850 to 1870, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into an important period in American history. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded not only of Benjamin Brown French's significant accomplishments but also how photography has allowed us to preserve moments from our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
