EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases General Montgomery C. Meigs, a prominent figure in American history during the 19th century. The photograph, taken before his passing in 1892, captures him dressed in his military uniform, representing his significant role as an army officer. General Meigs was not only known for his service in the Union Army during the American Civil War but also for his contributions as a civil engineer and administrator. His legacy includes overseeing the construction of numerous important structures such as the Washington Aqueduct and Arlington National Cemetery. In this portrait, we see an elderly man with a distinguished beard and facial hair that reflect both wisdom and experience. His expression carries a sense of regret or sadness, perhaps hinting at the weight he carried throughout his career or reflecting on past events. The photograph's simplicity highlights General Meigs' dedication to duty and country rather than focusing on extravagant attire or elaborate backgrounds. It serves as a poignant reminder of one man's commitment to serving the United States during times of war and peace. Preserved by the Smithsonian Institution Archive, this image offers us a glimpse into history while honoring General Montgomery C. Meigs' profound impact on our nation's development and military heritage.
