EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in American colonial history. The picture showcases Sir John Leverett, an influential figure who served as the Governor of Massachusetts Colony during the 17th century. With his distinguished appearance, Leverett exudes authority and power. Dressed in traditional colonial attire, Leverett dons a cap and collar that were fashionable during that era. His long beard adds to his commanding presence, symbolizing wisdom and experience. The direct gaze of his eyes suggests confidence and determination. The photograph is taken from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan, published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York in 1937. This image serves as a valuable visual representation of the time period it depicts. Leverett's role as both a magistrate and merchant highlights his multifaceted contributions to society. As one of the last governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony before its transformation into Massachusetts United States, he played a crucial part in shaping early American governance. This portrait not only provides insight into Leverett's character but also offers viewers a glimpse into the fashion trends prevalent during this significant period in American history. It stands as a testament to our nation's rich heritage and reminds us of those who paved the way for future generations.
