EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles Benedict Calvert of Maryland, a prominent figure during the years 1860-1865. The creator of this remarkable portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the image. Calvert was not only a Member of Congress from Maryland but also the visionary behind America's first agricultural research college, now known as the Maryland Agricultural College in College Park. Dressed in formal attire befitting his political stature, Calvert exudes confidence and determination. His clasped hands symbolize his commitment to serving his country and advancing agricultural knowledge. The coat he wears reflects the fashion trends of the 19th century, while also representing his status as a respected politician. Preserved through time on a glass negative, this photograph is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed at the Library of Congress. It captures not just a man but also a pivotal moment in American history. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are reminded of Calvert's significant contributions to both politics and education. This image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and reminds us that progress often stems from individuals who dare to envision new possibilities for their nation.
