EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Portrait of Chief Justice Chase," was created by renowned American artist Max Rosenthal in 1890. The image portrays Salmon P. Chase, a prominent figure in American history who served as the Chief Justice of the United States from 1864 until his death in 1873. Born in Cornwall, New Hampshire, in 1808, Chase rose to prominence as a lawyer, politician, and jurist. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate before being appointed as the Secretary of the Treasury by President Abraham Lincoln. Chase's tenure as Secretary of the Treasury was marked by his successful implementation of the National Banking System, which played a significant role in financing the Union war effort during the Civil War. After his service in Lincoln's cabinet, Chase was appointed as Chief Justice of the United States by President Andrew Johnson. Rosenthal's etching captures the distinguished and authoritative presence of Chase, who is depicted wearing the traditional black robe of the Chief Justice. The intricately detailed etching, created on cream wove chine laid down on cream laid paper using the chine colle technique, showcases Rosenthal's exceptional skill as an artist. The portrait of Chase is an essential addition to any collection focusing on American history, art, or politics. It offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the legal system and the political landscape of the United States during the 19th century. This work of art invites viewers to reflect on the heritage and legacy of a remarkable American figure.
